PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method are provided to prevent the frequency of clock from being restricted by the time delay even when the phase of input data changes for packets. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus(300) comprises an edge detection unit(400) for detecting edges from input data and a first delay signal obtained by delaying the input data for a predetermined time; and a clock signal reproducing unit(410) for correcting the non-edge portion on the basis of the detected edge and the feedback signal obtained by delaying the detected edge for a predetermined time, and outputting the reproduced clock signal.

PURPOSE: An optical buffer is provided to alternately install many optical delayers and optical reflectors, and to pass light through the optical layers and the optical reflectors, then to delay light of a desired wavelength as much as desired time, thereby preventing optical packets from colliding with each other. CONSTITUTION: An optical circulator(32) has at least 3 ports, outputs light incident on the first port to the second port, and outputs light incident on the second port to the third port. Many optical reflectors(33a-33n) are connected to the second port, have different central wavelengths, reflect light of the substantially same wavelength as a self central wavelength among incident lights, and output the reflected light toward the second port. Many optical delayers(34a-34n) are installed by turns with the optical reflectors(33a-33n), and delay the light incident from each of the optical reflectors(33a-33n). An optical converter(31) converts light of an optional wavelength into central wavelengths of the optical reflectors(33a-33n), and outputs the converted light to the first port.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a multiwavelength locking method and apparatus using an acousto-optic tunable filter in an optical communication system including optical transport networks, in which output wavelengths of light sources are monitored under the condition in which pilot signals are applied to the acousto-optic tunable filter, so as to lock the wavelengths of the light sources, thereby eliminating an wavelength instability of the light sources for an improvement in transmission characteristics. The acousto-optic tunable filter receives light beams of N different frequencies respectively outputted from N light sources, along with N pilot signals having different frequencies, and converts respective frequencies of beam components of the output beam corresponding to the N pilot signals, thereby outputting N frequency-converted output beams to be applied to a photo-detector. N electrical signals respectively corresponding to the frequencies of the pilot signals are outputted from the photo-detector, separated from one another while corresponding to the light sources, respectively, and then used to compensate for respective output wavelengths of the light sources, thereby enabling the corresponding light sources to output locked wavelengths, respectively.
