  • Patent number: 10951344
    Abstract: An optical transmitter generates two modulated optical signals by modulating two optical carriers respectively with two binary bit sequences by on-off keying and generates an orthogonal polarization multiplexed optical signal from the two modulated optical signals. The two optical carriers respectively have peak frequency components spaced apart from each other by a predetermined frequency difference and located such that a central frequency of a WDM channel of a WDM grid falls between the peak frequency components. An optical receiver separates the orthogonal polarization multiplexed optical signal into two signals in which components of the two modulated optical signals are combined with different combination ratios, by means of a 1-input, 2-output asymmetric filter whose two optical transmittances intersect at the WDM grid and each have a free spectral range equal to or twice the channel spacing of the WDM grid, and restores the two modulated optical signals from the separated two signals using a DSP.

  • Patent number: 9883262
    Abstract: An optical network system includes a master node and a plurality of optical switch nodes, allowing the number of nodes without depending on the number of wavelengths. The master node is configured to: divide a wavelength path having an arbitrary wavelength into time slots each having a predetermined time period; and allocate the time slots to each of the optical switch nodes. Each of the optical switch nodes is configured to: synchronize the time slots based on information delivered from the master node; and thereby transmit or receive a data or performs route switching.

  • Patent number: 8909042
    Abstract: An economical optical network is constituted by effectively using network resources by using the minimum number of, or minimum capacity of 3R repeaters. 3R section information corresponding to topology information on the optical network to which an optical node device itself belongs is stored, and the 3R section information stored is referred so as to autonomously determine whether or not the optical node device itself is an optical node device for implementing the 3R relay when setting an optical path passing through the optical node device itself. Alternatively, when the optical node device itself is a source node, another optical node device for implementing the 3R relay among the other optical node devices through which the optical path from the optical node device itself to the destination node passes is identified, and this identified optical node device is requested to implement the 3R relay when setting an optical path in which the optical node device itself is a source node.

  • Patent number: 7894368
    Abstract: An OVPN user register an L1 signal type information which is used in the user's device in an OVPN terminating device in advance together with an IP address and a VPNID which are allocated to the user's device. Registered contents are notified to other OVPN terminating devices which control the same VPNID as that of the user's device. Otherwise, when a calling connection request arrives from the user's device, the registered contents are notified other OVPN terminating devices which control the devices which receive the notification. By doing this, it is possible to handle a request by the user for changing the setting for the signal format which is employed in the user's device quickly. Also, it is possible to realize an OVPN which can perform a process for a calling connection request from the user efficiently and improve an operability for the user.
