Patent number: 7292785Abstract: An optical transmission system accomplishes optical transmission over a long distance by combining a multiplexing line terminal with optical amplifiers, linear repeaters, and regenerators with optical amplifiers combined together. The system also accomplishes the optical transmission over a short distance by directly connecting the linear terminals therebetween, with an electric-to-optic converter replaced by an electric-to-optic converter having a semiconductor amplifier, with an optic-toelectric converter by an optic-to-electric converter having an avalanche photodiode as light receiver, and with no use of any optical booster amplifier and optical preamplifier in multiplexing line terminal. With these, the optical transmission system can be easily constructed depending on the transmission distance required.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2006Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Keiji Tomooka, Naohiro Sakakida, Shin Nishimura, Yoshihiro Ashi, Hironari Matsuda, Satoshi Aoki, Yukio Nakano, Masahiro Takatori, Toru Kazawa, Shinya Sasaki, Ryoji Takeyari, Hiroyuki Nakano
