DUMMY-LIGHT GENERATION DEVICE, OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND DUMMY-LIGHT GENERATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18134806 Titled 'DUMMY-LIGHT GENERATION DEVICE, OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND DUMMY-LIGHT GENERATION METHOD'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device called the dummy-light generation device. This device consists of an ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) light source that produces ASE light, and a spectrum processing circuit that processes the spectrum of the ASE light. The spectrum processing circuit is designed to generate dummy light that is transmitted along with the signal light. The processing of the ASE light spectrum is done in a way that allows the spectrum of the dummy light and the spectrum of the signal light to be distinguished from each other on either the frequency axis or the time axis on the receiving end.


Original Abstract Submitted

The dummy-light generation device includes an ASE light source that generates ASE light, and a spectrum processing circuit that generates dummy light transmitted together with signal light by processing a spectrum of the ASE light, and the spectrum processing circuit processes the spectrum of the ASE light in advance in such a way that a spectrum of the dummy light and a spectrum of the signal light can be distinguished from each other on at least one of a frequency axis and a time axis on a reception side.
