Optical Fiber Line Testing System Employing 1.65 Μ Test Light Bypass Module for In-Service Monitoring of ADM Ring Networks.
IEICE technical report Speech(2009)
Abstract
This paper describes a novel optical fiber line testing system operating at 1.65μm using test light bypass modules. We show a new testing configuration for add/drop multiplexer (ADM) ring networks. The test light bypass modules were installed in individual customer buildings so the test light can bypass the ADMs. We evaluated the bit-error performance with a 2.48832Gbit/s ADM ring network using a prototype test light bypass module. We confirmed that this testing system can monitor the optical fiber cables of an ADM ring network, and that it causes no degradation in transmission quality. We show the operating area provided by the system dynamic range expressed in terms of fiber length and customer building number. The prototype system could monitor an ADM ring network linking five buildings with a 5km loop. We also performed an in-service monitoring field trial in a 2.6km ring network with three ADM nodes. This testing system enables us to reduce the operating, administration, and maintenance cost and improves the transmission quality of ADM ring networks.
