    摘要: Time taken for resuming communication in a protection scheme using a backup path in an optical communication system including a master station device and a plurality of slave station devices is decreased. The plurality of slave station devices are connected in parallel to a looped path. A communication path between the master station device and each of the slave station device includes a normal path and a backup path. The master station device performs communication control processing for each of the slave station device based on RTT. A first slave station device is a slave station device with which communication through the normal path has become impossible. First backup path RTT of the first slave station device is calculated based on first normal path RTT of the first slave station device, first partial RTT between the master station device and the looped path, and loop propagation time necessary for one trip through the looped path. The communication control processing for the first slave station device is resumed based on the calculated first backup path RTT without measurement of the first backup path RTT when the first slave station device is sensed.

    摘要: Dynamic error-quantizer tuning systems and methods prevent misconvergence to local minima by using a dynamic quantizer circuit that controls reference voltages of three or more comparators that are independently adjusted to modify the transfer function of the dynamic quantizer circuit. A weighted sum of the comparator outputs is subtracted from the input to form an error signal in a control loop. The ratio of the reference voltages is chosen to reduce or eliminate local minima during a convergence of the control loop and is set to values that minimize a mean squared error signal with respect to discrete modulation states of the input after the convergence of the control loop is complete.

    摘要: An indexing system includes an indexing component; a redundant optical path; and a fiber tap arrangement. Multiple indexing components can be daisy-chained together in the indexing system. The redundant optical path is created between any forward port and any rearward port in the network. Multiple redundant optical paths can be created within the network. One or more tap arrangements can be disposed along each redundant optical path. Accordingly, feed signals in a bidirectional indexing environment can be supplied to each drop line along the redundant optical path from either direction without recabling.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for monitoring optical communications between a managed location and a remote location. In particular, an optical signal is transmitted over an optical fiber and passed-through a test device. A portion of the optical signal is filtered from the original optical signal and passed to a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may instruct one or more switches in the test device to loop the optical signal back toward the managed location. Subsequently, testing and monitoring may be performed at the managed location. The device may provide a test output or may transmit the information to the managed location.

    摘要: Systems and methods for achieving eye safety of an optical transceiver are provided. An optical module can be configured to output a first optical signal. A first photodetector can be configured to output a signal indicative of a presence or absence of a second optical signal. A controller can be coupled to the optical module and the first photodetector and can be configured to control the output of the optical module. In response to a determination that an output of the first photodetector indicates the second optical signal is absent, the controller can control the optical module to output the first signal at a decreased average optical power. In response to a determination that an output of the first photodetector indicates the second optical signal is present, the controller can control the optical module to output the first signal at an increased average optical power.

    摘要: Control and monitoring of airfield lighting from a control tower and other maintenance/supervisory locations uses double loop self healing fiber optic communications circuits to enhances speed of operation even with large and complex airfield lighting system requirements, and significantly increased reliability and operating lifetime thereof. A plurality of local light control and monitoring groups are used, wherein each group has at least one fiber optic communications concentrator that independently communicates with light controllers within the group and the remote supervisory control and monitoring systems in the control tower and other locations. This allows faster control response of the lamps in each of the airfield light fixtures, and monitoring concentration of operational data within each group. Each of the at least one fiber optic concentrators is optically coupled to double loop self healing fiber optic communications backbone circuits coupled to main and backup computer supervisory control systems for redundancy purposes.

    摘要: An optical transmission system ensuring high-quality monitor control even if an optical fiber fault occurs. A monitor instruction sending unit sends a monitor instruction. An operating condition recognizing unit receives a response signal and recognizes the operating condition. A filtering unit filters the monitor instruction and the response signal. A monitor control unit monitors the operating condition of its own repeater in response to the monitor instruction, and generates resultant response information. A pump unit generates a pump light to cause Raman amplification within an optical fiber transmission medium. A regeneration control unit performs a regeneration control of the response signal to thereby create a regenerated signal. A modulation control unit modulates the pump light by the response information or the regenerated signal to thereby generate the response signal.
