OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CONTROL APPARATUS AND QUALITY COMPENSATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275111 titled 'OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CONTROL APPARATUS AND QUALITY COMPENSATION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an optical switch system that includes a quality compensator to improve the quality of optical signals passing through the switch.
- The optical switch has multiple ports for input and output of optical signals.
- The quality compensator adjusts the quality of the optical signal passing through the switch.
- A controller selects the appropriate quality compensator based on the degree of quality deterioration in the optical signal.
- The controller then directs the optical signal through the selected quality compensator to ensure optimal quality output.

Original Abstract Submitted
An optical switch having a plurality of ports outputs an optical signal, which is input from one of the plurality of ports, from another port. A quality compensator perform quality compensation of the optical signal output from the optical switch, and input the quality-compensated optical signal to the optical switch. A controller selects, among the plurality of quality compensators, a quality compensator that performs quality compensation according to the degree of quality deterioration of the optical signal when the optical signal input from a predetermined port of the optical switch is transmitted through a transmission path. The controller controls the optical switch so that the optical signal, in which quality is compensated by the selected quality compensator through the optical signal input from the predetermined port being output to the selected quality compensator, is output from the port corresponding to a transmission destination of the optical signal.
