    摘要: Disclosed is a fiber amplifier system in which a gain fiber is operatively combined with a fiber optic coupler having first and second coupler optical fibers. The coupler fibers are fused together along a portion of their lengths to form a wavelength dependent coupling region whereby most of the light power of a wavelength λ s couples between them, and most of the light power of a wavelength λ p that is introduced into the first fiber remains in it. The mode field diameter of the first coupler fiber is substantially matched to that of the gain fiber and is smaller than that of the second coupler fiber. One end of the first coupler fiber is spliced to the gain fiber. A transmission fiber is spliced to the second coupler fiber, and a laser diode introduces pumping light of wavelength λ p to the first coupler fiber. The fiber optic coupler preferably includes an elongated body of matrix glass through which the first and second coupler fibers extend. The matrix glass has a refractive index n₃ that is lower than that of the fiber claddings. The fibers are fused together along with the midregion of the matrix glass, the fiber cores being more closely spaced at the central portion of the midregion than at the body endfaces, thereby forming the coupling region.

    摘要: The amount of light coupled to an optical fiber (15) from a laser diode (11) is limited to a predetermined maximum power. A lens (30) receiving the laser output is adjusted to maximize the power received at the core portion of the fiber endface (17). The power coupled to the fiber is then reduced to the predetermined power level by insertion of a polarizing or absorbing filter (39) in the optical path. When a polarizing filter is employed, it is rotated until the predetermined power is coupled to the fiber. If a quarter wave plate is included, negative effects due to back reflections from the fiber end face into the laser diode can be eliminated.

    摘要: An improved four-port dichroic WDM, for use in a multiwavelength, bi-directional optical amplifier, having a dichroic filter for substantially reflecting a first wavelength band input to the WDM to an output of the WDM for the first wavelength band and for substantially transmitting a second wavelength band input to the WDM to an output of the WDM for the second wavelength band, in which some of a first 3dB wavelength in the first wavelength band is transmitted by the filter and some of a second 3 dB wavelength in the second wavelength band is reflected by the filter, includes another dichroic filter having a filter function different than the filter function of the WDM filter providing an insertion loss for the first or the second 3 dB wavelengths sufficient to reflect and transmit, respectively, substantially all of the first and second 3 dB wavelengths. Additional dichroic filters for suppressing 3 dB light are used to prevent Q-switching in an optical gain cavity in a multiwavelength, bi-directional optical amplifier formed by a reflection point in an optical path connected to the amplifier.
