Abstract:
PURPOSE: A metro WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system having a direct modulation type by an optical filtering method is provided to effectively control a color distribution effect by chirping generated in a direct modulation system, a penalty by an optical extinction ratio, and a nonlinear effect generated in multi-channel transmission, so that a transmission distance can be extended. CONSTITUTION: An LD(Laser Diode,10) mounted on a transmission unit, is directly modulated through a laser operator to change a carrier of a laser. A first AWG(Arrayed-Waveguide Grating,20) multiplexes and optically filters wavelength divided signals. A first booster amplifier(30) outputs and amplifies the optical signals generated from the first AWG(20). A first SMF(Single Mode Fiber,40) transmits the optical amplifying signals outputted from the first booster amplifier(30) through an optical fiber. An in-line amplifier(50) re-amplifies the optical amplifying signals through an in-line. A second SMF(60) transmits the re-amplified optical signals through the optical fiber to a receiving unit. A second AWG(70) de-multiplexes and optically filters the optical signals multiplexed in the transmission unit. And an optical receiver(80) receives the optical signals generated from the second AWG(70).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A retrieval method after recovery of a WDM(Wave Division Multiplexing) system of a ring-type optical communication network is provided to make two nodes, directly connected with a failed optical fiber, form a closed-loop when recovering the optical fiber, and to make a gain of the closed loop exceed 1 to lead lasing, so that optical signals under transmission with a standby optical fiber can be transferred to an operating optical fiber. CONSTITUTION: If multiple nodes(14a-14d) are connected through an operating optical fiber(10) and a standby optical fiber(12) and a failure is generated while optical signals are transmitted with the operating optical fiber(10) in a normal state, the failure is detected using light receiving elements inside the nodes(14a-14d). Space switches configuring nodes(14c,14d) adjacent to a failure generating block is controlled. A signal passing the failure generating block is transferred to the standby optical fiber(12). The failed operating optical fiber(10) is recovered, to form a closed loop(20) by the operating optical fiber(10), the standby optical fiber(12) and the adjacent nodes(14c,14d). A loop gain of the closed loop(20) is made to be larger than 1(one), to lead lasing in the closed loop(20). The nodes(14c,14d) monitor an optical strength of the failure generating block, to control a switch(SW) and recover an optical communication network to a normal state if the optical strength exceeds a predetermined value.

최근에 연구되고 있는 파장분할다중 전송방식 광통신망에서는 각 노드마다 애드/드롭 다중화기를 가지고 신호를 애드하거나, 드롭하는 기능을 가져야 한다. 종래의 단방향 애드/드롭 다중화기는 같은 방향의 신호만을 애드/드롭할 수 있기 때문에, 광통신망에서 양방향으로 신호를 전송하기 위해서는 노드마다 2 개의 애드/드롭 다중화기가 필요하였다. 본 발명에서 제안한 애드/드롭 다중화기는 하나의 N x N 도파관열 격자 다중화기를 이용하여 역다중화와 다중화를 동시에 구현한다. 그리고, 별도의 대역통과 필터를 사용하지 않고 신호의 파장을 교대로 할당하여 다중화기의 투과 특성을 통해 상대강도 잡음을 효과적으로 제거한다. 또한, 제안된 다중화기는 향후 신호의 용량이 증가할 경우, 이를 고가의 N x N 다중화기의 교체 없이 저가의 다중화기와 역다중화기의 추가만으로 수용할 수 있다. 이와 같은 양방향 애드/드롭 다중화기와 광증폭기를 조합하여 양방향 애드/드롭 광증폭기 모듈을 구현한다. 본 발명에 따른 양방향 파장분할다중 애드/드롭 광증폭기 모듈은 효율적이고 경제적이며, 양방향 파장다중방식 광통신망을 제작하는 데 적합하다는 장점을 가진다.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus for monitoring an optical path by the discrimination of an input terminal in an optical circuit distribution system is provided to supervise an optical path through the discrimination of an input terminal in an optical circuit distribution system. CONSTITUTION: A pilot tone synthesizing unit(610) synthesizes an intrinsic low-speed pilot tone with a wavelength division multiplexed optical signal supplied through an input terminal. A one(1) x two(2) optical branch unit(620) branches the optical signal synthesized with the pilot tone and sends them to a pilot tone detection unit(630). The pilot tone detection unit(630), after detecting the pilot tone from the optical signal and recognizing from which input terminal the optical signal comes, detects and outputs an error of a path using routing information inputted from a switching control unit.

The central base station transmits many signals by a wavelength division multiple coupling, and distributes a received optical signal into many signals. The optical fiber line(310) transmits the coupled optical signals from the central base station via the first signal coupler, and transmits the multiplexed optical signal to the central base station via the first signal coupler. The small base station converts the optical signal from the first signal coupler into an electrical signal.
