    摘要: An endpoint receives a photon signal jointly encoded in time and frequency as a time-frequency state, and separates the photon signal with a dispersive element to generate frequency components. The endpoint delays each corresponding frequency component by a corresponding time delay to separate out the frequency components in time before the endpoint recombines the frequency components to generate a frequency-separated signal. The endpoint measures the frequency-separated signal to determine the time-frequency state of the photon signal.

    摘要: A variable optical BPF allows a signal light of a specified wavelength band in a signal light including reference signal lights to pass through. A light receiving unit outputs a level signal indicating a level of the signal light having passed through the variable optical BPF. A control unit refers to a wavelength table held in advance, instructs a wavelength band that passes through the variable optical BPF, and obtains a spectrum of the signal light having passed through the variable optical BPF using the wavelength table and the level signal. The control unit detects a wavelength drift between a center wavelength of the wavelength band instructed to the variable optical BPF to cause the reference signal lights to pass through and center wavelengths of peaks corresponding to the reference signal lights in the spectrum, and updates the wavelength table to corrects the detected wavelength drift.

    摘要: An optical signal monitor, including: a storage that holds a threshold value set for each of determination areas having a bandwidth set in accordance with an average grid of dummy light; a measurement section that sequentially measures an optical intensity of an inputted wavelength-multiplexed optical signal with respect to each of measurement areas obtained by dividing the determination area into areas with a bandwidth sufficiently smaller than a grid width of a monitoring-target optical signal composing the wavelength-multiplexed optical signal, and output measured values; and a section that determines that dummy light corresponding to the determination area needs introducing if each of measured values in the determination area is smaller than a threshold value, and, determines that dummy light corresponding to the determination area does not need introducing if at least one of the measured values in the determination area is equal to or larger than the threshold value.

    摘要: According to examples, a wavelength identification and analysis sensor may include a wavelength transmitter, operably connectable to an input or output of a wavelength selective device of a wavelength division multiplex (WDM) network, to transmit test signals on a plurality of wavelengths into the input or output of the wavelength selective device of the WDM network. A wavelength analyzer is to detect returned signals from the input or output of the wavelength selective device of the WDM network, with each returned signal being associated with one of the transmitted test signals. Further, the wavelength analyzer is to analyze the returned signals and identify, based on the analysis of the returned signals, a wavelength associated with the input or output of the wavelength selective device of the WDM network.
