摘要:
A wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) device, an optical leakage prevention method, and a WDM communication system are disclosed. The WDM device includes a level adjusting unit for receiving an optical signal, for adjusting the optical power level of the received optical signal, and for outputting the level-adjusted optical signal; and a controlling unit for analyzing the optical power level of the optical signal output from the level adjusting unit, for controlling the level adjusting unit so that the optical power level of the output optical signal stays at a constant level, and for transitioning to an “off-state” when the optical power level of the output optical signal becomes less than a predetermined disconnection-detection threshold so that the level adjusting unit gives a predetermined attenuation to the input optical signal. The controlling unit transitions from the “off-state” when the optical power level of the output optical signal is greater than a predetermined recovery threshold and an upstream WDM device is not in the “off-state”.

摘要:
Conventionally, an adjustment of an optical power level of an input Pin of an optical amplifier module is made with an optical variable attenuator. An optical coupler for measuring the optical power level of Pin and an optical variable attenuator are replaced by a variable optical coupler. The branch ratio of the variable optical coupler is varied, whereby the input optical power level Pin to an optical amplifier module is adjusted. As a result, an optical loss is reduced by an amount corresponding to the elimination of the optical attenuator, and also the OSNR of the optical amplifier module is improved.
摘要:
An optical node apparatus according to the present invention amplifies a WDM signal light input to an input port, and thereafter, branches the amplified WDM signal light by an optical branching coupler to send the branched lights to first and second optical paths, and selects the light propagated through the first optical path by an optical switch to amplify the selected light by a post-amplifier, thereby outputting the amplified light from an output port, when the optical node apparatus is operated as an optical amplification repeating node. When the operational state is upgraded to an optical add/drop multiplexing node, an OADM section is connected between a set of connecting ports on the second optical path, and the adjustment of the OADM section is performed utilizing the WDM signal light branched by the optical branching coupler, and thereafter, the switching of the optical switch is performed to select the light on the second optical path side. As a result, since the switching the operational state from the optical amplification repeating node to the OADM node can be performed in a short time, it becomes possible to provide the continued communication service at the low initial installation cost.

High-quality video is provided using a small amount of coded bits. The moving picture decoding method performs inter-frame prediction processing. With the aforementioned inter-frame prediction processing, blocks with similar motion vectors from among the motion vectors in multiple blocks that have already been decoded are combined and a combined area is computed. A predicted vector for a target block to be decoded is computed using the motion vector of the aforementioned combined area, and a motion vector for the aforementioned target block is computed based on the aforementioned predicted vector and a difference vector which is included in a coded stream that is input. A predicted image is generated using the aforementioned motion vector, and a difference image which is included in the aforementioned coded stream and the aforementioned predicted image are added to generate a decoded image.
