Abstract
Description
(第1の実施形態)
図1は、第1の実施形態における光通信システム1の構成例を示す図である。光通信システム1は、加入者装置10と、加入者装置20と、管理制御装置30と、光合波部40とを備える。図1では、光通信システム1が加入者装置10及び加入者装置20をそれぞれ1台備える構成を示しているが、加入者装置10及び加入者装置20は、複数台備えられてもよい。
加入者装置10は、波長λsの光信号を光伝送路45に送信する(ステップS101)。加入者装置10から送信された波長λsの光信号は、光伝送路45を介して光合波部40に入力される。
制御信号の信号帯域が主信号の信号帯域と重ならないAMCC信号を制御信号とする場合には、加入者装置20は、図4に示す光受信部21を備えるように構成されてもよい。図4は、第1の実施形態における加入者装置20の他の構成を示す図である。図4では、加入者装置20における光信号を受信する光受信部の構成を示している。加入者装置20は、光受信部21aを備える。光受信部21aは、PD23と、LPF24とを備える。PD23は、入力された光信号を電気信号に変換する。PD23により変換された電気信号は、分岐されてLPF24に入力される。LPF24では、電気段で主信号からAMCC信号を分離し、AMCC信号を取得する。
第2の実施形態では、双方向で通信を行う場合の構成について説明する。
図5は、第2の実施形態における光通信システム1aの構成例を示す図である。光通信システム1aは、加入者装置10と、加入者装置20と、管理制御装置30aと、複数の光合波部40-1,40-2とを備える。図5では、光通信システム1aが加入者装置10及び加入者装置20をそれぞれ1台備える構成を示しているが、加入者装置10及び加入者装置20は、複数台備えられてもよい。
光通信システム1aは、第1の実施形態と同様に変形されてもよい。
図5では、双方向で送受信される光信号が同一の光ファイバ芯線を流れる構成を示しているが、双方向で送受信される光信号がそれぞれ異なる光ファイバ芯線を流れる区間が存在する構成であってもよい。
第3の実施形態では、第2の実施形態の構成に加えて、加入者装置間に、複数の光SWを備える構成について説明する。
図6は、第3の実施形態における光通信システム1bの構成例を示す図である。光通信システム1bは、複数の加入者装置10-1~10-N(Nは2以上の整数)と、加入者装置20-1~20-Nと、管理制御装置30bと、複数の光合波部40-1-1~40-1-N,40-2-1~40-2-Nと、複数の光SW50-1~50-2を備える。
制御部34-1及び34-2は、1以上のプロセッサで構成されてもよい。
光通信システム1bは、第1の実施形態と同様に変形されてもよい。
図6に示す構成では、管理制御装置30bは、光伝送路45の数と同じ数だけ制御信号送信部33-1や制御信号送信部33-2を備える必要がある。そこで、制御信号送信部33-1及び制御信号送信部33-2の数を削減するために、光送信部31b-1と各光合波部40-2-1~40-2-Nとの間、及び、光送信部31b-2と各光合波部40-1-1~40-1-Nとの間にそれぞれ光SWを備えるように構成されてもよい。このように構成される場合、光送信部31b-1及び31b-2はそれぞれ1つの制御信号送信部33-1及び33-2を備えればよい。そして、制御信号送信部33-1の出力を、光SWにより切り替えて光合波部40-1-1~40-1-Nのいずれかに出力し、制御信号送信部33-2の出力を、光SWにより切り替えて光合波部40-2-1~40-2-Nのいずれかに出力すればよい。
その結果、制御信号送信部の数を削減することが可能になる。
