    摘要: The present disclosure has an object of proposing a method and a device for estimating the state of a transmission path or an optical transmitter capable of mechanically estimating a factor causing an error with a small amount of constellation data and a low computing amount. The present disclosure provides a device for estimating a state of optical communication, the device including: a data preprocessing unit that reduces the number of data using random sampling with respect to constellation data in which an amplitude and a phase of optical communication data are represented by a polar coordinate diagram and performs distribution calculation and a dimension reduction; a learning unit that learns a dictionary matrix in sparse coding using learning constellation data processed by the data preprocessing unit; and a recognition unit that calculates a sparse coefficient using recognition constellation data processed by the data preprocessing unit and the dictionary matrix learned by the learning unit and estimates a factor causing degradation of the optical communication using the calculated sparse coefficient.

    摘要: An optical and electronic integrated switch includes a network processor that controls the functions of the packet switch, a plurality of optical transceivers having photoelectric conversion functions, and a plurality of optical switches. The optical switches include different types of optical core switch and a plurality of optical-path selection switches. The optical transceivers provided near the processor have a regenerative relay function that regenerates optical signals and turns back the optical signals, and perform optical communication with a communication counterpart via the optical switches. In the optical communication, optical switches of the different types can cooperate to set paths for optical cut-through in which path selection is performed such that inputted optical signals are outputted without the intervention of the processor. This optical cut-through can be effectively performed without imposing a signal processing burden that consumes electric power on the processor.

    摘要: A photo-electron fusion switch that can perform optical communications without any trouble, even when nodes of a communication source and a communication partner that are large in transmission capacity are connected, and makes it possible to realize a concentrated arrangement of devices having similar functions and reduce the communication processing time is connected to communication source's information processing devices and communication partner's information processing devices and information processing devices that are each different in transmission speed so as to configure an optical network system. The photo-electron fusion switch includes a network processor of an electronic circuit for controlling packet switch functions, a plurality of optical transmitter/receivers that can support coherent communications and has a photoelectric conversion function capable of transmitting and receiving optical signals different in transmission speed, an optical line switching device, and a plurality of multiplexing/separators. Each multiplexing/separator simultaneously transmits and receives respective optical signals different in transmission speed to and from the nodes via optical waveguides.
