Optical network with distributed signal regeneration
First Claim
1. An apparatus (10a) for regenerating optical signals, having one or more devices (1a, 1b, 1c) which can regenerate a plurality of different optical signals (DB3, DB4, DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4) received by the apparatus (10a), characterized in that the apparatus has a device (12) for determining the quality of the received optical signals (DB3, DB4, DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4), and that the signal regeneration devices (1a, 1b, 1c) regenerate only those signals (DC1, DB4) for which a poor signal quality was determined by the quality determining device (12)

Abstract
A method and device are provided for the regeneration of optical signals, including one or more devices that are capable of regenerating various optical signals received by the device. The device includes a system for determining the quality of the received optical signal and the signal regeneration devices regenerate only those signals for which the quality detection system has detected a poor signal quality.
