  • Method for transmitting data in a time-domain wavelength-interleaved optical network
    Patent number: 10361785
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method for transmitting data via an optical network comprising a plurality of optical nodes, in which at least one wavelength is dedicated to the transmission, in the network, of data bursts transmitted by at least one source node and wherein the data bursts are intended for an addressee node. The method may comprise transmitting a control message from the addressee node to the at least one source node wherein the control message is conveyed in an optical signal emitted according to the wavelength dedicated to the transmission, in the network, of data bursts intended for the addressee node.
    Type: Grant

  • Pressurized optical cable equipped to detect and locate pressure losses that might affect it
    Patent number: 4778248
    Abstract: A pressurized optical cable equipped for the detection and location of losses of pressure that might affect it is equipped with a source for creating a light signal and injecting it into one of the extremities of an optical fiber of the cable, with pressure detectors situated at intervals along the cable, with modifiers associated with the detectors, which, in response to a reaction of the detector modify, at the point of the detection, the intensity of a light propagating in the optical fiber, and with an echometer for generating, at the extremity of the fiber, a representation of a light signal backscattered by this fiber when the injected signal propagates therein, for the purpose of detecting and locating a loss of pressure in the cable by detecting and identifying singularities in the representation, resulting from the action of the modifiers.
