  • Patent number: 7158728
    Abstract: An optical repeating system includes an optical transmitter and a plurality of optical amplifying repeaters. The optical transmitter specifies a part or all of the optical amplifying repeaters, and transmits a supervisory command to the specified optical amplifying repeaters as a first sub-signal via an uplink or downlink optical transmission line. The supervisory command is a command to supervise internal circuits of the optical amplifying repeaters. Receiving the supervisory command addressed thereto via the uplink or downlink optical transmission line, the optical amplifying repeaters each transmit a supervisory signal indicating a supervisory result corresponding to the supervisory command to optical receivers via the uplink and downlink optical transmission lines as a second sub-signal. The optical system can reduce the time take to acquire the supervisory information about the plurality of the optical amplifying repeaters.

  • Patent number: 7130544
    Abstract: An optical repeating system includes an optical transmitter and an optical amplifying repeater. The optical transmitter transmits a supervisory command and a control command to the optical amplifying repeater as a first sub-signal. The supervisory command is a command to supervise internal circuits of the optical amplifying repeater, and the control command is a command to control the optical amplifying repeater. The optical amplifying repeater includes multiple sub-modules each for amplifying and repeating main signals on multiple sets of optical transmission lines. When receiving the supervisory command via the optical transmission line, each sub-module transmits a supervisory signal indicating the supervisory result associated with the supervisory command to an optical receiver as a second sub-signal.

  • Patent number: 6914718
    Abstract: In an optical repeating system including an optical transmitter and optical amplifying repeaters, the optical transmitter specifies one optical amplifying repeater, and transmits to the optical amplifying repeater a supervisory command to supervise internal circuits of the optical amplifying repeater and a control command to control amplification factors of optical amplifiers of the optical amplifying repeater as a first sub-signal. Receiving the supervisory command via an optical transmission line, the optical amplifying repeater transmits a supervisory signal indicating a supervisory result corresponding to the supervisory command to optical receivers via optical transmission lines as a second sub-signal. Receiving the control command via the optical transmission line, the optical amplifying repeater is controlled to change amplification factors of the optical amplifiers in response to the control command.
