Abstract: A loss-less optical cross-connect advantageously employs a plurality of optical rare earth-doped
fiber optical amplifiers as gain-switched optical connections, for example, gain-switched
optical distributors and gain-switched optical selectors. Each of the optical rare
earth-doped fiber optical amplifiers acts as an ON/OFF switch. Also, both the gain-switched
optical distributors and selectors employed in the optical cross-connect
arrangement of this invention are a natural fit into today's optically amplified optical
communication systems. In one embodiment, this is realized by employing a pump select
circuit in conjunction with a plurality of pumps and the plurality of corresponding rare
earth-doped fiber optical amplifiers. The particular pump and corresponding optical
amplifier are selected by use of a control circuit arrangement to determine which output
port or ports is (are) connected to the input port. The rare earth-doped fiber optical
amplifiers and the corresponding pumps are employed advantageously for both the gain-switched
optical distributors and the gain-switched optical selectors. In another
embodiment, a so-called tuned pump arrangement is employed in conjunction with a
plurality of filters and a corresponding plurality of rare earth-doped fiber optical
amplifiers. A pump tuning arrangement is employed to control the tunable pump in order
to select the appropriate one of a plurality of optical amplifiers to be activated, thus
routing the input signals at any of a plurality of given wavelengths to the corresponding
output line (or lines if broadcasting capability is employed). Again, the rare earth-doped
fiber optical amplifiers and the corresponding pumps are employed advantageously for
both the gain-switched optical distributors and the gain-switched optical selectors.

Abstract: Reliable transmission of signals in a multi-channel system is achieved by transferring signal inputs from a defectively operating or inoperative transmitter to another transmitter which continues to transmit other channels. At least two transmitters are operated normally, each transmitting its own block of channels. A sensor detects when the output of one transmitter is improper or non-existent, and causes a change-over switch to operate. Operation of the switch adds the block of channels which had come from the one transmitter to the other (or one or more) of the transmitters, so that the remaining transmitter or transmitters now provide all the channels.

IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 1998-03-06
Abstract: In order to reduce power consumption of the electronic device while it is
inactive, the main switch 32 is shifted to the non-conductive state when the
electronic device driven by the battery is stopped and the actuating signal
decreases below a predetermined voltage, the actuating signal representing the
state where the device is in operation. Thus, the power supplied to the control
circuit or the like of the electronic device from the battery becomes zero,
should a leak current or the like is ignored, and the power consumption can be
reduced. In order to start the electronic device, the switch 34 is turned on and
the main switch 32 is forced to the conductive state. That is, when the electronic
device is started and the actuating signal exceeds the predetermined
voltage, the main switch 32 becomes conductive and the electronic device
receives power from the battery. In this state, even if the switch 34 is opened,
the main switch 32 still remains conductive unless the actuating signal is
stopped. Repeated, the main switch 32 is non-conductive while the electronic
device is inactive, so that the waste of power of the battery can be prevented.
