摘要:
An OPC generates a pump light having the wavelength &lgr;s with a power larger than a threshold for generating a nonlinear effect in an optical fiber for a main signal having the wavelengths &lgr;1 through &lgr;4 transmitted from an OS, and wavelength-multiplexes the generated light with the main signal. When the pump light induces a nonlinear effect, a signal light having the wavelengths &lgr;1′ through &lgr;4′ is generated symmetrically to a main signal having the wavelength &lgr;1 through &lgr;4 about the pump light on a wavelength axis. Thus, in a wavelength multiplexing system designed based on an eight-wave transmission, a signal light can function as a compensation light even when only four waves are used at the initialization of the system, thereby compensating for the characteristics of the system operations. Furthermore, the system is effective in cost because it simply requires an OPC for generating a pump light regardless of the number of compensation lights to be generated.

An multiplex transmission apparatus that realizes a receiving system using a phased array antenna with high efficiency and low cost is provided. A delay controller 102 gives a time delay to a local oscillation signal outputted from a signal source 101. First and second optical transmitters 1031 and 1032 each converts the local oscillation signal and the delayed local oscillation signal into optical signals. A first optical multiplexer 104 multiplexes the optical signals for transmission. An optical separator 106 separates the multiplexed optical signal. A first multiplexer 1071 multiplexes first and second main element signals, while a second multiplexer 1072 multiplexes first and second sub-element signals. First and second optical modulators 1081 and 1082 each modulates the optical signal with multiplexed electrical signal group. A second optical multiplexer 109 multiplexes the modulated optical signals for transmission. An optical receiver 110 carries out square-low detection on the multiplexed optical signal. Then, from the optical receiver 110, the first or second main element (or sub-element) signal is obtained with its frequency converted.
摘要:
A system and method is disclosed for providing high-speed, high capacity data communication over a Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) network with an efficient re-routing capability. When all light channels between two nodes in the network are loaded with transmission jobs, a transmission traffic congestion is created. In order to avoid or alleviate the congestion, a new alternative route is needed. An alternative route is selected to direct the traffic away from the congested route, and further expand the channel capacity of the alternative route by encoding the light channels in the alternative route with orthogonal codes.
摘要:
A system and method for providing non-blocking routing of optical data through a telecommunications router that allows full utilization of available capacity. The router includes a number of data links that carry optical data packets to and from an optical router. The optical router includes a number of ingress edge units coupled to an optical switch core coupled further to a number of egress edge units. The ingress edge units receive the optical data packets from the data links and aggregate the optical data packets into “super packets” where each super packet is to be routed to a particular destination egress edge unit. The super packets are sent from the ingress edge units to an optical switch fabric within the optical switch core that routes each super packet through the optical switch fabric to the super packet's particular destination egress edge unit in a non-blocking manner (i.e., without contention or data loss through the optical switch fabric). This routing is managed by a core controller that monitors flow information at each ingress edge unit to control the super packet generation and transmission to the optical switch fabric and schedules each super packet to exit the optical switch fabric so as to avoid contention among the plurality of super packets in the transmission between the optical switch fabric and the egress edge units. The egress edge units receive the super packets, de-aggregate the super packets into the original optical data packets, and transmit the optical data packets to the data lines.
