摘要:
A reflection optical modulator including a bidirectional optical amplifier, or a multi-wavelength simultaneous optical modulating device composed by combining reflection optical modulators. BY numerically limiting the relation between the gain of the bidirectional optical amplifier and the loss of the optical modulators or by inserting polarization rotating means, the influence of the light reflected at the ends of the bidirectional optical amplifier is lessened, and a stable amplifying function is realized. A transmission optical modulator including semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) connected in multiple stages is also disclosed. Optical isolators are inserted every other SOAs. Thus, the influence of the reflected light is lessened, and a stable amplifying function and reduction of the cost are both realized.

A Raman amplifier assembly inlcudes a Raman amplifier configured to receive a signal from a signal source. The signal travels in an upstream direction in the Raman amplifier. A first pump source is coupled to the Raman amplifier. The first pump source produces a first pump beam that travels in a downstream direction and is counter-propagating relative to the signal. A second pump source is coupled to the Raman amplifier and produces a second pump beam that travels in the upstream direction. The second pump source has an average relative intensity noise of less than -80 db/Hz.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for circumventing, and altering transmission-channel users of, transmission-channel disruptions. In one embodiment of the present invention, a source (1602, 1702) encodes information in a first signal and transmits the first signal in a source channel (1610, 1712) to a multiplexer (1604, 1704). The multiplexer (1604, 1704) distributes the first signal over N transmission channels (1612, 1718). A demultiplexer (1606, 1806) combines the signals distributed over the N transmission channels (1612, 1718) into a second signal encoding of the information. The distribution system also includes a detector (1608,1730) that receives the second signal output from the demultiplexer (1606, 1706), and one or more detectors (1620, 1732) that receive one or more additional signals output from the demultiplexer (1606, 1706). The additional signals are produced by the demultiplexer (1606, 1706) when a disruption occurs in one or more of the transmission channels and are used to alert transmission-channel users of the disruption.
摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide a compact dispersion slope equalizer by which it is possible to simultaneously recover distorted waveforms of WDM signals by dispersion slope of DSF or NZ-DSF at 1.55µm band, and to compensate for the dispersion of various fiber transmission lines having various dispersion values and variation of dispersion value caused by the temperature change or the like. WDM signals distorted by the dispersion slope of the fiber are introduced into an input waveguide (1, 20), and are demultiplexed by a wavelength demultiplexer (2, 21) into each wavelength component, and pass through lattice-form optical circuits (4-1 to 4-N), transversal-form optical circuits (23-1 to 23-N), or the combination of these circuits. The dispersion slope of the signals is compensated for by these circuits. The recovered signals are multiplexed by a wavelength multiplexer (5, 24), and the multiplexed light is outputted at an output waveguide (6, 25). Arrayed-waveguide gratings can be used as the wavelength demultiplexer and multiplexer. Also, cascaded configuration of Mach-Zehnder interferometers, bulk-type optical filters, or fiber-type (or waveguide-type) gratings in series can also be used as the wavelength demultiplexer and multiplexer.
