ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling the demultiplexing process in an optical backplane device has application to optical switching in high-speed digital communication routers and switches. In demultiplexing, a selected compressed data packet is extracted from a multiplexed stream of compressed packets by a modulator and decompressed. The modulator is controlled by a control signal. An error in the timing of the modulator control signal corresponds to a characteristic distortion in the decompressed signal. By monitoring the effect of timing errors on decompressed signals, steps can be taken to correct the timing errors by controlling delays in either the optical or the electronic parts of the switching device. The timing of modulator control pulses is thus continuously adjusted to minimize timing errors. Instead of monitoring just decompressed signals, calibration pulse trains of known value and suitable form can be inserted.
