SERVICE OPTICAL SIGNAL TRANSMISSION METHOD, NETWORK DEVICE, AND OPTICAL NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18541452 titled 'SERVICE OPTICAL SIGNAL TRANSMISSION METHOD, NETWORK DEVICE, AND OPTICAL NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a service optical signal transmission method, a network device, and an optical network. A network device includes a light source module connected to a plurality of wavelength selection modules, each connected to a respective first optical transceiver. The light source module transmits M first optical signals to each wavelength selection module, where M is a positive integer greater than 1. Each wavelength selection module transmits K second optical signals to the respective first optical transceiver, where K is a positive integer less than or equal to M. The first optical transceiver modulates a service electrical signal on each of the K second optical signals to output K service optical signals.

  • Network device includes light source module and wavelength selection modules.
  • Light source module transmits M first optical signals to each wavelength selection module.
  • Each wavelength selection module transmits K second optical signals to respective first optical transceiver.
