20090136233 | OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND OPTICAL NODE - Where an integrated monitoring and controlling unit is to control an optical add-drop unit so as to cause transmit signals from the optical transceiver of a first optical node to be received by the optical transceivers of plural different optical nodes, this purpose can be achieved by an optical transmission system provided with an alarm inhibiting device that can inhibit the optical transceiver, which is a source of transmission, from issuing any unexpected alarm. | 05-28-2009 |
20090238563 | Optical Signal Transmission Apparatus - There is provided an optical signal transmission apparatus having a stable dispersion compensation function without unnecessarily controlling a compensation value even when a main signal quality is deteriorated due to a factor other than dispersion or in the case of a transmission failure. When it is determined that a signal quality is deteriorated due to dispersion of a fiber by determining a control mode of a variable dispersion compensator by means of optical noise information and received power information in addition to bit error information of a received signal, a compensation value of the variable dispersion compensator is varied and a compensation value other than the dispersion of the optical fiber is held to an existing set value. | 09-24-2009 |
20090317078 | OPTICAL TRANSMISSION DEVICE AND OPTICAL TRANSMISSION METHOD - The signal quality of ultra high-speed signals such as 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s are significantly degraded due to wavelength dispersion and nonlinear effects in an optical fiber. Thus, there is provided a transponder unit in which a light source is polarization multiplexed in a direction mutually orthogonal to a signal direction, in order to reduce the nonlinear effects in the optical fiber and improve the signal quality. At the same time, it is possible to monitor an amount of the wavelength dispersion in the optical fiber, allowing for more precise dispersion compensation design. | 12-24-2009 |
20110008041 | OPTICAL CROSS-CONNECT APPARATUS - The present invention relates to an optical cross-connect apparatus supporting plural directions, and provides a method of effectively performing an alarm indication by a node supervisory unit of the optical cross-connect apparatus. The node supervisory unit includes an alarm indication information storage unit that manages a management table for each of the plural directions. The management table manages not only received alarm indication information but also “internal WSS input/output port optical fiber connection state”, “WSS optical path setting state on DROP/THROUGH selection side”, “transponder destination location”, and “destination direction”, with respect to each direction. Then, a process flow is added to match received FDI information with the management information stored in the management table for each direction, and to specify an alarm destination. | 01-13-2011 |
20110176812 | OPTICAL COMMUNICATION CARD AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Multiplexing-technology based large-capacity transmission requires the installation of many types of interface card. In addition, supporting a redundant configuration for preventing data communication from being interrupted requires the devices and cards more than double those required for the production system. An optical communication card includes multiple optical signal transmission/reception units, main signal processing units corresponding to the optical signal transmission/reception units and required for a multiplexed system, and a connection selection unit that can switch among multiple optical transmission lines, and each of the main signal processing units includes multiple function units and a function selection unit. | 07-21-2011 |
20110216783 | SENDING APPARATUS, RECEIVING APPARATUS, AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - A transmission system is provided in a synchronous network, for establishing synchronization with a degree of precision and at a speed being comparable levels as a conventional technique, and further decreasing the probability of out-of-synchronization occurrence. In the present invention, a synchronization signal is detected without performing error correction until synchronization is established, and after the synchronization is established, it is monitored whether or not out-of-synchronization occurs, according to the synchronization signal that has been subjected to the error correction. | 09-08-2011 |
20110293270 | OPTICAL RECEIVER AND OPTICAL TRANSFER APPARATUS - It is provided an optical receiver comprising a compensator, a compensation controller and a clock extractor. The optical receiver selects first and second values, and obtains a stabilization time necessary to change the dispersion value and a transition time shorter than the stabilization time, compensates the received optical signal using the selected first value, changes the dispersion value from the first value into the second value, compensates the received optical signal using the dispersion value when the transition time has passed since starting to change the dispersion value, creates second extraction information of the dispersion value after the transition time, compensates for dispersion of the optical signal using an dispersion value calculated based on the second value and the difference between the dispersion value after the transition time and the second value in a case where the created second extraction information indicates that the clock extraction is available. | 12-01-2011 |
