Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network. In particular, it relates to a technology for minimizing the optical loss at a wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network based on wavelength-locked light source Thereby it improves the transmission quality and increases the transmission distance. A 4-port optical path setting device of the present invention increases the amount of light injected into an optical transmitter and thereby improves the wavelength-locking characteristic of a light source. In addition, it can decrease the optical transmission loss in an optical transmission path, and by an optical amplifier being inserted therein; it can also compensate the optical loss in an optical transmission path.

Abstract:
본 발명은 광 필터링 방법에 의한 직접변조 방식의 메트로 파장분할 다중방식 시스템에 관한 것이다. 종래의 직접 변조 방식은 변조시 레이저 다이오드에서 발생하는 처핑에 의한 색분산 효과와 광 소광비가 좋지 못하므로 전송에 제한을 받게 된다. 이에, 본 발명은 메트로용 광 네트워크에 직접 변조 방식을 채택하기 위해 광 필터링 방법을 이용하여 1) 직접 변조 과정에서 발생하는 처핑을 효과적으로 제거하여 색분산에 의한 페널티를 줄인다. 2) 광소비를 향상시키기 위해 off 준위의 광 신호에너지도 함께 제거하여 광소광비에 의한 페널티를 줄인다. 3) 또한, 높은 파워의 광신호를 파장분할 다중화 시켜 송신할 경우 발생하는 상호위상 변조와 4광파 혼합과 같은 비선형 효과를 효과적으로 억제한다. 따라서, 본 발명에서 제안한 광 필터링 방법을 사용하면 광 소광비를 향상시키고, 처핑에 의한 색분산 효과와 비선형 효과를 효과적으로 제거하여 경제적인 직접변조 송신방식으로도 양질의 신호를 전송할 수 있다.

PURPOSE: A multi-stage bidirectional optical amplifier is provided, which is more economical than an optical amplifier using an additional mid-stage device per optical signal propagating bidirectionally, and can reduce a degradation of the signal due to a nonlinearity of the mid-stage device even though the number of optical signals inputted to the mid-stage device increases. CONSTITUTION: Single-stage bidirectional optical amplifiers(30a,30b) comprise two input/output ports(p1,p2) to amplify a downward/upward optical signal propagating bidirectionally and amplify the optical signal at the same time by being connected to the input/output port. Multi-reflection suppression units(28a,28b) are connected to input/output ports of the single-stage bidirectional optical amplifiers respectively, and transfer an optical signal of a specific wavelength toward one direction. And a mid-stage device(42) is connected between the multi-reflection suppression units, and comprises a unit for dispersive compensation, a unit for an optical amplifier gain flattering and a unit for noise accumulation removal of the optical amplifier.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A bi-directional wavelength division multiplexing self-healing optical communication network embodies a bi-directional add/drop multiplexer having a simple structure by using one NxN multiplexer, and uses only two optical fibers by using the bi-directional add/drop multiplexer. CONSTITUTION: In an optical communication network wherein two optical fibers are interconnected between nodes, two optical signal receivers(10,19) sense a receiving of the optical signal. Two switching parts(13,16) are switched to a spare optical fiber in case of a cutting of an operating optical fiber. Two switching controllers(12,17) control the switching parts. A multiplexing/demultiplexing part is connected between the switching parts, and performs a multiplexing and a demultiplexing at the same time. Many optical amplifiers are connected to the optical ring and a spare ring. The multiplexing/demultiplexing part(B-ADM) includes one multiplexer for performing a multiplexing and a demultiplexing of the wavelength divided signals being fold-back connected therebetween, two circulators, and two filters for filtering the multiplexed signals from the multiplexer. Thereby, the number of optical fibers needed to a bi-directional self-healing optical communication network is reduced by half.
