    摘要: The specification describes an optical fiber device wherein a lower order mode (LOM) i.e. LP 01 is converted to a higher order mode (HOM) i.e. LP 02 prior to entering the gain section. The gain section is a few mode fiber that supports the HOM. The output from the gain section, i.e. the HOM, may be utilized as is, or converted back to the LOM. With suitable design of the few mode fiber in the gain section of the device, the effective area, Aeff, may be greater than 1600 μm 2 The large mode separation in the gain section reduces mode coupling, allowing greater design freedom and reducing the bend sensitivity of the optical fiber. The fiber designs suitable for the gain section of the devices comprise a core, inner cladding and a trench (down doped region). The inner cladding and the trench regions govern the properties of the higher order mode (LP 02 ).

    摘要: An in-line, distributed optical fiber filter comprises a core region (12) with a raised refractive index (with respect to the surrounding cladding material) so as to allow for total internal reflection (TIR) of the desired transmission wavelength(s). One or more raised index features (16) are formed within the cladding region (14) and are configured so as to result in mode mixing between the cladding mode and core mode at determined wavelength(s) to be removed by filtering. The parameters associated with determining the proper core specifications and cladding specifications can be separately determined to provide for enhanced performance in terms of both filtering unwanted signals and propagation of desired communication signals.

    摘要: A connector system for terminating an optical fiber cable having a protective outer jacket. The system includes a connector plug and a crimp insert having an axial bore. A distal end of the insert is formed to be joined to a proximal end of the connector plug. A first portion of the insert bore has a diameter corresponding to an outside diameter of the cable jacket. A second portion of the insert bore has a diameter corresponding to an outer diameter of an unjacketed end of the cable. The insert deforms when crimped at axially spaced positions on its periphery, corresponding to the first and the second portions of the insert bore. Thus, both the outer jacket and the unjacketed end of the cable are restrained from axial movement with respect to the joined insert and connector plug.

    摘要: An inverse dispersion fiber (10) having a large effective area and a transmission system that incorporates the fiber for providing dispersion and dispersion slope compensation in a transmission fiber (3). The large-effective-area inverse dispersion optical fiber (IDF) (10) has a negative dispersion and a negative dispersion slope. The effective area, A eff , of the IDF (10) preferably is greater than approximately 31 micrometers squared (µm 2 ) at a transmission wavelength of approximately 1550 nm. The large-effective-area IDF (10) is suitable for use with super-large-effective-area (SLA) transmission fiber (3) for compensating dispersion in the SLA transmission fiber while reducing nonlinear effects between wavelength channels and cabling loss, which is especially advantageous in transoceanic and longhaul terrestrial systems. These nonlinear effects are inversely related to the effective area of the fiber (i.e., nonlinearities ~ 1/A eff ). Thus, an increase in the effective area of the fiber translates into a decrease in nonlinear interactions, which increases bandwidth capabilities and limits signal degradation. Furthermore, the large-effective-area IDF (10) of the present invention has very desirable transmission properties. The present invention also provides a transmission system (1) comprising at least one of the large-effective-area IDF optical fibers (10) of the present invention. Furthermore, A eff can be made large without having to increase the ratio, R a , of the diameter of the core to the diameter of the trench region (52).

    摘要: In accordance with the invention, an optical fiber transmission system is provided with multiple order PMD compensation to provide enhanced compensation at high bit rates and across a range of frequencies. Specifically, PMD is compensated by a concatenated series of components, each component configured to compensate for the effects of a successively higher order term of a PMD Taylor series approximation. Advantageously, each component comprises a polarization controller and a differential dispersion element of specified order. In an exemplary embodiment, the first order differential dispersion element can be a standard differential group delay (DGD) element. The element of second order can be a differential group-velocity dispersion element, and the third order element can be a differential dispersion slope element. These differential dispersion elements of various orders can be fixed or tunable elements in different embodiments.
