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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113799 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 multiple first optical signals to the wavelength selection modules, which in turn transmit multiple second optical signals to the first optical transceivers. The first optical transceivers modulate a service electrical signal on the second optical signals to output service optical signals.
