Abstract:
PURPOSE: An optical subscriber network using an FP-LD(Fabry-Perot Laser Diode) by injecting external incoherence light source is provided to enhance spectrum efficiency of a subscriber network at a low cost and remarkably increase the number of subscribers per line. CONSTITUTION: Uplink signals from a subscriber to central base station(71) are grouped according to wavelength division port of a multiplier(73), and each port is connected to light sources of each subscriber terminal sharing wavelength through a splitter(74). When a central base station(71) transmits a noncoherent light source(72) having a wider wavelength range, the light source is filtered at each port of the multiplexer(73) and then injected to the FP-LD of grouped subscriber terminals through the splitter(74). In this manner, the oscillation wavelength of the FP-LD is determined by the noncoherent light source injected from the outside, and output power of the wavelength-fixed FP-LD is used as an uplink transfer signal light source of each subscriber.

Each RN(RN1-RN3) is embodied as a BADM(Bidirectional Add/Drop Multiplexer) so that a specific wavelength signal is dropped and added in each RN(RN1-RN3).

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for a Non-Reciprocal Optical Wavelength Filter (NRWF) suitable for bidirectional optical transmissions, communications, and amplifiers. The NRWF of the present invention is composed of (1) a Reciprocal Rotator (RR) rotating the polarization state of the light reciprocally, (2) a non-reciprocal Faraday Rotator (FR) rotating the polarization state non-reciprocally according to the propagating direction, (3) two polarization beam splitters, BC1 and BC2, splitting an unpolarized wave into two orthogonally polarized waves, or combining the two orthogonally polarized waves, and (4) a Wavelength Dependent Polarization Converter (WDPC) changing the polarization state according to the wavelength of light. Accordingly, the NRWF has periodic transfer spectra, and the peaks of the transfer spectrum from Port 1 to Port 2 are located between those of the transfer spectrum form Port 2 to Port 1. Therefore, the NRWF of the invention suppresses multiple reflections in wavelength interleaved bidirectional transmissions. The optical amplifiers with the NRWF of the invention are useful for long-haul bidirectional systems and networks.
