Optical cascade star network - A new configuration for a passive distribution system with optical collision detection capability

Abstract: A new fiber-optic passive network configuration with novel star couplers is reported. The new optical network configuration, an Optical Cascade Star Network, optimizes contradictory requirements for network system size and cable cost, and matches the actual layout in offices or factories. The star coupler is novel in that the optical signal does not return to the source terminals. This feature enables cascade connection of star networks, the use of simple repeaters for system extension, and the easy support of carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) bus access procedure. Experimental results obtained from novel star couplers, optical transceivers with (CSMA/CD) bus compatibility, and a total network system are also discussed.

High-speed optical-fibre ring network with a register insertion access protocol

Abstract: The paper reports on work currently being carried out at the University of Kent, Canterbury. It considers the application of optical fibre in a high-speed local-area ring network. The ring is to operate at speeds up to 100 Mbits?1 and employs the register-insertion technique as the access protocol. Other possible protocols are also considered, and their relative merits and the final decision to choose the register-insertion technique is discussed. The paper also describes in detail the access procedure of the register-insertion technique and the operation of the designed system. It also reports on the current status of the project and the future development of the system.
