本発明は、光中継器に関し、特に減衰した光信号を増幅
し出力する光中継器に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an optical repeater, and more particularly to an optical repeater that amplifies and outputs an attenuated optical signal.
光中継器は、減衰した光信号を一度受信素子で受信して

る。The optical repeater uses a method of obtaining a reproduced optical pulse waveform by once receiving an attenuated optical signal with a receiving element, converting it back into an electrical signal, reproducing and amplifying this electrical signal, and applying it to a light emitting element. This is called regenerative relay, and involves timing extraction (Retiming), equivalent amplification, or waveform shaping (R
eshaping) and identification regeneration (Regenera
It consists of three functions (Ting) and is called a 3R repeater.

は確立していない。The monitoring control circuit in the conventional 3R repeater has a monitoring function of the bias current of the laser diode (LD), the input level of the optical main signal, the output level, the temperature, etc., and relates the monitored information to the voltage signal. This voltage signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the regeneratively amplified main signal is modulated (frequency modulation, phase modulation, etc.) and then converted back into an optical signal and sent out.However, the attenuated optical signal is directly amplified. For relay systems using optical amplifiers, monitoring control and response signal modulation methods have not been established.

回路規模が大きくなり、また、ビットレートに関係なく
用いることができるという光アンプの大きな利点を失う
という問題があった。The above-mentioned optical repeater using the conventional optical amplifier converts the optical signal into an electrical signal once, similar to the 3R repeater, and modulates the electrical signal using the monitoring control and response signals, resulting in a large circuit scale. In addition, there was a problem in that the great advantage of the optical amplifier, which is that it can be used regardless of the bit rate, is lost.

。The optical repeater of the present invention includes an optical amplifier that amplifies an optical signal input from a transmission line, an optical coupler that branches the output from this optical amplifier into two directions, and an optical repeater that uses the output of one of the optical couplers to output an optical signal. It has a monitoring control circuit that monitors power and outputs it as a response signal, and an electro-optic crystal that modulates the other output of the optical coupler with the response signal and outputs it.

an optical coupler 2 that outputs branches in the directions; a monitoring control circuit 4 that monitors the power of the optical signal by one output of the optical coupler 2 and outputs it as a response signal 5 of monitor information; and the optical coupler 2.
and an electro-optic crystal 3 which modulates the other output by the response signal 5 and outputs it to the terminal OUT.

れ端子ＯＵＴから出力される。When an instruction (command) for monitoring the optical output power of the repeater is sent from the transmitting side terminal station, the command branched from the main signal light by the optical coupler 2 is input to the monitoring control circuit 4. The supervisory control circuit 4 receives this command, starts monitoring the optical output power, converts the information into a voltage signal, and
It is output as a response signal 5 for supervisory control. This response signal 5
is input to the control terminal of the electro-optic crystal 3, and the main signal light from the optical coupler 2 is modulated (for example, phase modulated) and output from the terminal OUT.
このようにすると受信側端局では、この変調（ここでは

する。As explained above, the present invention modulates and transmits the optical signal of the main signal using the monitor information of the optical signal power from the supervisory control circuit in the repeater using the optical amplifier, thereby making it independent of the bit rate of the main signal. Since it can be used for multiple applications, it does not lose the advantages of repeaters using optical amplifiers, and since it uses optical amplifiers, it can easily transmit various modulated signals, and has the effect of being able to send data during in-service. .
