ABSTRACT:
In a protection-switching arrangement, each optical output of replicated switching nodes (12,13) is connected to the input of an error detector (17,18) and of an optical delay line (19,20); their outputs are in turn connected to inputs of an optical AND gate (21,22). The error detector generates an error signal when it detects error in data at the connected output. The error signal causes the connected AND gate to block signals incoming from the connected delay line. The delay line is sized to ensure that the connected AND gate, when responding to an error signal, blocks signals whose error status is represented by that responded-to error signal. AND gates whose inputs are coupled to like outputs of the switching nodes have their outputs connected to inputs of an optical OR gate (23). The OR gate combines signals received at its inputs into a single signal at its output. The switching nodes may be replaced by computers, transmission lines, or other replicated signal-handling elements.
