Abstract: An in-line distortion generator for coupling in-line with a non-linear device (NLD) produces an output signal of useful amplitude, but with low composite second order, composite triple beat and cross modulation distortions. The distortion generator comprises an instant controlled non-linear attenuator which utilizes the non-linear current flowing through a pair of diodes, in parallel with a resistor and an inductor, to provide the proper amount of signal attenuation over the entire frequency bandwidth. The distortion generator circuitry is always matched to the NLD, thereby ensuring a frequency response that is predictable and predefined. The distortion generator may also include a temperature compensation circuit to ensure consistent operation throughout a wide temperature range.

Abstract: In an optical telecommunications network in accordance with the principles of the present invention, a link connection undergoes an automatic port recognition process, whereby the port binding information for the link is detected, recorded and shared with the network elements connected by the link, before the link is used to transmit bearer traffic. One of a group of optical network elements that communicate through an out of band channel, such as a LAN, is "elected" a network element leader. After election, the leader network element coordinates the port discovery process; requests for port "recognition", responses to requests, and other messages are passed through the network element leader on the out of band channel from one non-leader network element to another. Once the recognition process is set up through the leader network element, an optical test signal is transmitted along the link in question from the recognition requesting network element to all other network element s in the network. The receiving network elements monitor the power level at each of their "inactive" ports and the inactive port at which an increased energy level is detected is determined to be the port attached to the link in question. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A photosensitive glass made of a ternary compound SiO2:SnO2:R2O where R is a Group I element such as Na, K or Li. The addition of an oxide of a Group I element increases the solubility of tin oxide in a silica matrix and produces a glass which is highly photosensitive and in which optically written refractive index modulations have remarkable temperature stability (solid circles) at least as good as that of the binary glass SiO2:SnO2 (open circles) and much superior to that of conventional germanosilicate glass (solid triangles) or borogermanosilicate glass (open triangles). The inclusion of the Group I oxide effectively increases the solubility of tin oxide in the non-crystalline silica matrix well above the 1 % limit of SiO2:SnO2 photosensitive glass, at which Sn would normally crystallise in the oxide. By contrast to boron or phosphorous co-dopants, the introduction of the Group I element does not appear to cause any increase in the background refractive index, allowing the manufacture of waveguide devices compatible with standard telecommunication fibres.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of performing online switching of software from executing a first version of operating software to executing a second version of operating software in a communication system (100). The system (100) incorporates connection gateways (130, 200) controllable using the software for routing and processing communication traffic flowing between subscribers connected to the system (100) in response to subscriber demand. The method includes the steps of: providing the system (100) with its gateways executing the first version of the software; receiving the second version of software at the gateways; receiving an instruction at the gateways to perform an online switch of software; storing persistent data describing at least routing connections established through the gateways; transferring control of the gateways from the first version of software to Mini Media Handler (MMH) software executing in the gateways and operable to maintain established routing connections through the gateways; executing the second version of software concurrently with the MMH software to enabling the second version to recover the persistent data and configure itself in response thereto; and passing control of the gateways from the MMH software to the second version of software. The invention provides the advantage that the gateways can be switched from executing the first version of software to executing the second version of software without causing an interruption of communication traffic conveyed through the gateways.
