Definitions
- the invention is in the field of optical transponders.
- Optical ring networks include two optical fibers, one dedicated for adding and dropping working channels and the other dedicated for protection channels.
- Optical ring networks typically include one or more so called unidirectional optical transponders for adding an optical signal to a working channel or dropping one off therefrom, so called 1X2 add direction optical transponders for adding identical optical signals to the working channel and the protection channel, and so called 2X1 drop direction optical transponders for dropping an optical signal from either the working channel or the protection channel.
- a dual E/O transmitter module optical transponder comprising:
- an O/E receiver module capable of converting an ingressing optical signal from an optical signal source to an electrical signal
- a pair of E/O transmitter modules connected in parallel and each capable of converting said electrical signal to an egressing optical signal
- a control device for enabling one of said pair of E/O transmitter modules and disabling the other of said pair of E/O transmitter modules
- an optical coupler coupled to said pair of E/O transmitter modules for feeding said egressing optical signal from said enabled E/O transmitter module to an optical signal destination.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a dual E/O transmitter module unidirectional optical transponder
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of a dual E/O transmitter module drop direction optical transponder.
- FIG. 1 shows a dual E/O transmitter module unidirectional optical transponder 10 including an optical to electrical (O/E) receiver module 11 coupled to an optical signal source (not shown); a field programmable gate array (FPGA) control device 12; an electrical splitter 13; an electrical selector 14 (constituting a switching element); a main path 16 extending between the splitter 13 and the selector 14 and having a Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) unit 17, a demultiplexer 18, a Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Performance Monitoring (PM) unit 19, and a multiplexer 21; a bypass path 22 (constituted by an electrical shunt) extending between the splitter 13 and the selector 14; a second electrical splitter 23; a pair of E/O transmitter modules 24 and 26 connected in parallel, and an optical coupler 27 coupled to an optical signal destination (not shown).
- O/E optical to electrical
- FPGA field programmable gate array
- the O/E receiver module 11 converts an ingressing optical signal to an electrical signal, and provides an optical Loss of Signal (LOS) signal to the FPGA control device 12 in the event that no optical signal is detected thereat.
- the splitter 13 splits an electrical signal from the O/E receiver module 11 into two identical signals which are respectively fed to the main path 16 and the bypass path 22.
- the CDR unit 17 performs clock and data recovery on an electrical signal, and provides a data Loss of Signal (LOS) signal to the FPGA control unit 11 in the event that no data signal i.e. a stream of consecutive zeros is detected thereat.
- LOS optical Loss of Signal
- the FEC and PM unit 19 performs forward error correction and performance monitoring on an electrical signal, and provides a data Loss of Signal (LOS) signal, a Loss of Frame (LOF) signal, a Signal Fail (SF) signal, and a Signal Degrade (SD) signal to the FPGA control device 12 as appropriate.
- the selector 14 can feed either an electrical signal from one of the main path 16 or the bypass path 22 to the splitter 23 as determined by an SX signal from the FPGA control device 12.
- the splitter 23 splits the electrical signal to two identical signals which are respectively fed to the E/O transmitter modules 24 and 26.
- the E/O transmitter modules 24 and 26 are capable of being independently enabled by an TX_EN signal from the FPGA control device 12 and can each convert an electrical signal to an egressing optical signal which is fed to the optical coupler 27.
- the E/O transmitter modules 24 and 26 provide TXJ OS signals to the FPGA control device 12 in the event that they are enabled but no optical signal is detected thereat.
- the FPGA control unit 12 switches the selector 23 to feed electrical signals from the main path 16 to the E/O transmitter module 24, and disables the E/O transmitter module 26.
- the FPGA control unit 12 switches the selector 23 to feed electrical signals from the main path 16 to the E/O transmitter module 24, and disables the E/O transmitter module 26.
- an TX_LOS_l signal from the E/O transmitter module 24 it is disabled and the E/O transmitter module 26 is enabled.
- the protection against equipment failure of the E/O transmitter module 24 by the E/O transmitter module 26 is unaffected by the position selection of the selector 23.
- the dual E/O transmitter module optical transponder is particularly suitable for implementation as a drop direction optical transponder 30 (see Figure 2).
