Abstract:
PURPOSE: A wavelength tuning time measurement apparatus and method for multi-wavelength passive optical network (MW PON) are provided to select a wavelength-variable light source considering the required wavelength tuning time of an MW PON system. CONSTITUTION: A wavelength-variable light source (100) comprises a wavelength-variable laser (110) and a wavelength-variable laser driving unit (120). The wavelength-variable laser generates various wavelengths of light. The wavelength-variable laser driving unit includes information about the wavelength of light generated by the wavelength-variable laser in a wavelength change signal and transmits the wavelength change signal to the wavelength-variable laser. If the wavelength-variable laser receives the wavelength change signal from the wavelength-variable laser driving unit, the wavelength-variable laser generates a predetermined wavelength of light. A wavelength tuning time measuring device (200) measures the wavelength tuning time of the wavelength-variable light source. An optical filter (210) passes only a predetermined wavelength of light, for example, light within a channel wavelength range. An optical detector (220) generates information about time when the light passing through the optical filter consecutively begins to reach or calculates a wavelength tuning time by using the information.

An optical subscriber network system applying a wavelength division multiplexing technique to a TDM(Time Division Multiplexing)-PON(Passive Optical Network) and a service providing method are provided to enlarge a transmission distance between a central office and a terminal of a subscriber and to reduce a feeder optical filer line by applying WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transmission method between the central office and a remote node. An optical signal outputted from a wavelength multiplexing part(210) of an RN(Remote Node)(200) to a subscriber's device(300) is inputted to an optical circulation part(220). The optical signal circulates in the optical circulation part and is outputted to an optical amplifier(330) of the subscriber's device. The optical signal inputted to the optical amplifier of the subscriber's device is amplified and is inputted to the optical circulation part. The optical signal inputted to the optical circulation part is circulated and is outputted through an optical splitter(230). The optical splitter of the RN outputs the inputted optical signal to ONU(Optical Network Unit)s of M. Optical signals outputted from ONUs of M are merged in the optical splitter of the RN and is inputted to the optical circulation part of the RN. The optical signal inputted to the optical circulation part is circulated and is outputted to a wavelength converter(320) of the subscriber's device(300). The optical signal inputted to the wavelength converter is converted to the designated optical wavelength and inputted to the optical circulation part. The optical signal re-inputted to the optical circulation part is circulated and is outputted to the designated port of the wavelength multiplexing part.
