Fault location in WDM all-optical networks is a very important problem in practical network operation and administration. In this paper a simple and efficient method based on causal chain and set theory is proposed for the problem of fault location according to the current alarms in one network. A detailed fault location algorithm for single point fault is implemented based on the algorithm theory mentioned above. This method combines the network configuration model with the network fault model using object-oriented idea. Some tags and attributs related to fault and alarm are extended in configuration model which reduces the memory space and quickens the seeking. A WDM all-optical network connection management system using this algorithm is applied to a three-node WDM network. The testing results show that the proposed algorithms are correct and feasible. The average time for fault location is 9 seconds and the average time for restoration is 14 seconds.
In this paper, an analysis of networking and the possible applications of the automatically switched optical network (ASON) in the telecommunication network are provided. The following contents are included: First, several networking applications of ASON network is studied, and differences between them are compared; Second, the possible applications of these models in the telecommunication network are analyzed. Finally, how to evolution to ASON and the incremental services provided by ASON is discussed.
The characteristics of laser-induced temperature-rise are important information in laser material processing. In our experiment, several kinds of metals such as mild carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy and copper, and non-metals namely epoxy and polymethyl methacrylate were irradiated by using a high-power CW CO2 laser beam, while the temperature distribution and variation on their surfaces were measured by using a fast scanning infrared camera to image the laser irradiated area. The CO2 laser beam power was varied from several tens of Watts to several hundreds of Watts for the irradiating of different materials. 2-D and 3-D temperature distributions and the temperature variations against the time of
laser irradiation on certain points within the laser-irradiated area were recorded and measured. It is found that the temperature distribution on the surfaces of the irradiated materials was tightly related to the laser beam mode, and the temperature fluctuations corresponded to the laser beam power fluctuations. The results of this research could be applied to laser material processing.
