Abstract:
PURPOSE: A clock phase aligner for burst-mode data is provided to effectively align a phase of a clock signal with a phase of data during an overhead period of burst mode packet data through an over-sampling scheme and a digital scheme. CONSTITUTION: An over-sampling unit(211) performs an over-sampling on burst mode data input from a burst mode optical receiver(200) in a manner to convert(1) bit of data having an L bit-rate into M-bits of data having an interval of 1/M such that high-bit signals having M phase information and M*L bit-rate are obtained. A parallel conversion unit(212) converts the high speed continuous signals into low-speed parallel signals at a ratio of 1 to N (N>M). A parallel phase alignment unit(221) arranges bit streams of low-speed parallel signals having a ratio of 1 to N within a clock period into M groups (for example, M=4). When arranging the bit streams, if an additional parallel conversion is necessary, the signals, which have been converted at a ratio of 1 to N, are converted through a 1:P parallel conversion unit serving as a supplementary parallel conversion unit to obtain parallel signals having a further lower speed of N*P. A phase determination unit(222) determines an optimum phase based on patterns of N pieces of parallel data within a clock period. The clock phase arranging apparatus is provided with a pattern look-up table having phase selection information corresponding to each data pattern. A controller(224) controls an operation timing of the phase determination unit based on a burst timing control signal(250) transmitted from an MAC(Medium Access Control)(240) or a burst monitoring signal(260) transmitted from the burst mode optical receiver such that the operation timing matches a start of a CLK lock field.
Abstract:
An apparatus for optical filtering and an optical transmission system are provided to increase the efficiency of a subscriber network structure by accepting more many subscribers in a PON(Passive Optical Network) of a TDM(Time Domain Multiplexing) based on a wavelength split method. An optical splitter splits an optical signal outputted from an OLT(Optical Line Termination) to several ONUs(Optical Network Units) equally. A multiplication unit(430) transfers the optical signal inputted from the several ONUs to the OLT according to a wavelength split multiplexing method. A first signal split unit(410) transfers a signal inputted to the optical signal distributor and a signal outputted from the multiplexing unit to the OLT to different paths. Second signal split units(415a,415b,405c) transfers the signal outputted to the optical signal distributor to the ONUs and the signal inputted to the multiplexing unit to different paths.
Abstract:
A laser diode having an abrupt turn-on characteristic, an optical transmitting device using the same, and an optical communication device using the same are provided to obtain enough optical output and a low power RF(Radio Frequency) operation characteristic based on a high on/off extinction ratio. A laser diode having an abrupt turn-on characteristic includes an active area(Aact), and an absorbing area(Aab). The active area generates laser light by the application of current, and controls a gain. The absorbing area absorbs the optical power generated at the laser diode in the current lower than the abrupt threshold current below the operation current which generates the target optical power required in the laser diode. The laser diode absorbs the optical power at the absorbing area by using an optical device having an absorbing function.

An optical communication system and a method using Manchester encoded signal re-modulation are provided to reduce cost of a communication network and to enhance a transmission characteristic by re-modulating a Manchester encoded downstream signal to use as an upstream signal. An optical communication system includes a transmitting unit, and a receiving unit. The transmitting unit generates and transmits a Manchester encoded optical signal(402) of a first data stream. The receiving unit divides power of the optical signal into two, and modulates one of the divided optical signals based on a second data stream to receive the transmitted optical signal and recover the added second data stream.
