BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an optical control signal transmission device that transmits a control signal for monitoring or controlling a transmission system together with a data signal to be transmitted (hereinafter referred to as "main signal").

2. Description of the Related Art In an optical transmission system, along with a main signal,
For example, information about the destination of the main signal and a monitor signal for monitoring the operating state of each transmission device are transmitted as control signals. However, since the amount of information transmitted as the control signal is sufficiently smaller than that of the main signal, its transmission speed may be sufficiently lower than that of the main signal.

The first method of transmitting the control signal is to fold the control signal sequence into the main signal sequence by time division multiplexing. However, this method is not efficient because it is necessary to demodulate all the signals together with the main signal and take out the control signal sequence from them even when it is desired to read only the control signals at a node in the middle of the transmission system. The second method for transmitting the control signal is a method using subcarrier multiplexing. The main signal has a predetermined spectral spread. When the frequency outside the spectrum band is used as the carrier frequency and intensity-modulated with the control signal and transmitted, only the carrier frequency component of the control signal can be extracted by using a filter on the receiving side to extract only the control signal. At this time, since it is not necessary to demodulate the main signal component, it is possible to obtain the control signal with a simpler structure than the method of time multiplexing.

By the way, the main signal generally occupies a wide band from a low frequency to a high frequency (for example, 1/10000 of the bit rate frequency to the bit rate frequency). Therefore, in the method using subcarrier multiplexing, the carrier frequency for transmitting the control signal needs to be higher or lower than the band of the main signal spectrum. Here, when setting to the high frequency side, a receiving device that responds at high speed is indispensable. On the other hand, if it is set to the low frequency side, the influence of the intermodulation of the optical fiber amplifier comes out in the case of wavelength division multiplexing transmission. The optical fiber amplifier has a property that the gain changes according to the input signal light when the signal light intensity-modulated at a low frequency is input.

According to the present invention, even if the carrier frequency of the control signal is set to the low frequency side of the main signal band in the wavelength division multiplexing transmission system, each signal light is controlled without being affected by the cross modulation of the optical fiber amplifier. An object of the present invention is to provide an optical control signal transmission device capable of multiplexing and transmitting a signal and a main signal.

, An optical filter 23, a photodetector 24, and an electric filter 26. The optical branching device 21 branches a part of the transmitted wavelength multiplexed signal light (λ 1 to λ n ) and sends it to the optical filter 23. The optical filter 23 has a transmission characteristic of simultaneously detecting the frequency shift of each signal light, and sends the transmitted light to the photodetector 24. Examples of optical filters having such transmission characteristics include periodic optical filters such as Fabry-Perot filters and Mach-Zehnder filters.
Since the transmission characteristics of these periodic optical filters are periodic, if the transmission period and the wavelength interval of each signal light match,
The frequency shift of each signal light can be detected at the same time.

It can be expressed as follows (k is a proportional constant). In this equation, P in-i is modulated according to each main signal, and T (ν i ) is modulated according to each control signal. That is, the output signal of the photodetector 24 contains each main signal component and each control signal component. Here, each main signal spectrum overlaps with the same frequency band, and each control signal spectrum is located on the lower frequency side than the main signal spectrum and at a different frequency for each channel. Therefore, the electric filter 2 provided at the output stage of the photodetector 24
6 transmits only the carrier frequency component of the desired control signal from the output signal of the photodetector 24. This allows
Only a desired control signal can be obtained from the wavelength division multiplexed signal light.

By the way, the difference between the device of the present invention and the conventional device is that the control signal is transmitted by the optical frequency modulation method. In the conventional apparatus, since the main signal and the control signal are transmitted by the intensity modulation method, there is an influence of the cross modulation of the optical fiber amplifier. On the other hand, in the device of the present invention, since the main signal is transmitted by the intensity modulation method and the control signal is transmitted by the optical frequency modulation method, the light intensity is not modulated by the frequency component of the control signal. Therefore, the control signal can be transmitted without being affected by the cross modulation of the optical fiber amplifier.

In the above description, the fluctuation of the light intensity is only due to the modulation of the main signal, but in reality, the light intensity fluctuates due to other factors such as fluctuation of the transmission system, and the fluctuation frequency is controlled. When it overlaps with the carrier frequency band of the signal, the operation of extracting the control signal is affected. In order to avoid this, as shown in FIG. 3, the input signal light to the optical filter 23 is branched via the optical branching device 22 and input to the second photodetector 25, and its output signal is output to the second optical detector 25. The electric filter 27 extracts the carrier frequency component of the desired control signal. And
When the output signal of the electric filter 26 is divided by the output signal of the electric filter 27 in the division circuit 28, the carrier of the control signal is obtained.
(A) Eliminate the effects of light intensity fluctuations that overlap the frequency band
Therefore, it is possible to extract only the optical frequency modulation component.
