摘要:
An optical amplifier achieves multistage amplification with a four port optical circulator (1) with fiber amplifiers (3,5,7) and Faraday rotators and mirrors (15,17) connected to at least two of the ports (B,C). The fiber amplifiers (3,7) permit the signal to pass through the fiber amplifiers twice.
摘要:
A polarization independent coherent lightwave detection arrangement is disclosed which utilizes an optical hybrid including a single polarization beam splitter (16) and a single polarization maintaining coupler (18). The received message signal EM(t) and a local oscillator signal ELO(t) are applied as orthogonal inputs to the beam splitter such that the pair of output signals contain orthogonal components from each input signal. The coupler functions to combine the pair of output signals such that a balanced receiver (14) is capable of recovering the transmitted data signal, regardless of the polarization of the incoming message signal.
摘要:
A polarization independent coherent lightwave detection arrangement is disclosed which utilizes an optical hybrid (11) including a single polarization beam splitter (12) and a set of three polarization maintaining optical couplers (one input (22), two output (16,20)). By controlling the polarization state of the local oscillator to remain at a fixed value, polarization independent recovery of a transmitted data signal may be accomplished. Phase independence may be incorporated by replacing the pair of output polarization maintaining optical couplers with a pair of phase diversity optical hybrids.

摘要:
A hybrid pumping scheme for rare-earth doped fiber amplifiers is disclosed. In particular, the arrangement utilizes at least two pump sources (P₁, P₂), operating at different wavelengths, coupled to a section of doped optical fiber (26), such as erbium-doped optical fiber. Optical multiplexers (16,20), such as fused fiber couplers, may be used to couple the message signal desired to be amplified, as well as the pump sources, to the doped fiber section. For certain embodiments, the doped fiber may be segmented into separate components, with the length of each component determined with respect to the wavelength of the associated pump signal.
