Abstract:
A system for detecting a fault location in an optical network using tunable optical add-drop modules is provided to detect the location of a fault generated on an optical line, without using any additional light source, by dropping the signals of the optical line among the signals of BLSs(Broadband Light Sources), making them into optical pulse signals, and using them as monitoring light. A system for detecting a fault location in an optical network comprises BLSs(3,7), optical lines(10,12,13), and an optical line fault location detector(9). The BLSs output signals. The optical lines deliver the signals outputted from the BLSs. In case a fault occurs at an optical line, the optical line fault location detector drops only the signals of the optical line among the signals of the BLSs, converts them into optical pulse signals, combines the optical pulse signals with the other signals of the BLSs, and supplies them to the optical lines. Then the optical line fault location detector drops only the backscattered light of the fault optical line among the backscattered light generated as the supplied signals pass through the optical lines, analyzes variation of size for the time of the dropped backscattered light, and detects the location of the fault.
Abstract:
A bidirectional WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing)-PON(Passive Optical Network) is provided to remove inter-channel crosstalk effectively and to expand the number of channels twice as compared to an existing WDM-PON by using 4 BLSs(Broadband Light Sources) having their respective wavelength bands. An OLT(Optical Line Terminal) in a WDM-PON comprises 4 BLSs(170,180,220,230), a BIM(Band Interleave Multiplexer/demultiplexer)(160), and transceivers(110-130). The BLSs have their respective wavelength bands. The BIM classifies and outputs the injection light created by two of the BLSs and the Tx signals created by the injection light of the other BLSs according to odd channels and even channels. In this case, the injection light or Tx signal of each band has a different channel from a neighbor band. Each transceiver creates Tx signals with the injection light outputted from the BIM, filters the Tx signals outputted from the BIM, and receives Tx signals of preset channel-by-channel bands only.
