摘要:
An optical system comprises a polychromatic optical source (10) emitting multiple transverse modes, an optical link comprising at least one portion of multimode optical fibre (50) and an optical device (20) positioned between the optical source (10) and the input of the multimode optical fibre (50). The optical device (10) is suitable for modifying the distribution of the energy coupling of the transverse modes emitted by the source in the propagation modes of the fibre The system of the invention makes it possible to use low-cost transverse multimode optical sources for producing high-bandwidth Ethernet transmission networks having very good performances.

摘要:
A method of characterizing a graded-index multimode optical fiber, the method comprising: a) injecting a light pulse at a predefined wavelength into the core of an optical fiber that is to be characterized, via an "inlet" face thereof, said light pulse being injected with a predefined radial offset from the center of said inlet face; b) detecting said light pulse at an "outlet" face of said optical fiber, the time characteristic of the pulse being modified by propagation along the fiber; and c) repeating steps a) and b) for a plurality of values for said predefined radial offset; the method being characterized in that it further comprises: d) determining the transfer function of the optical fiber and a bandwidth characterizing said transfer function, as a function of said radial offset. This method can be applied to selecting optical fibers after they have been produced. The invention also provides an optical fiber of the kind that can be fabricated with such a method, and a method of fabricating said optical fiber..
摘要:
A multimode optical fiber has a refractive index profile such that a measurement of the dispersion modal delay (DMD), carried out on a DMD graph modified by adding a delay (Δt trace ) to each trace: Δ t trace = Δ λ max xDxL r trace a β where r trace is the center position of the injection of the light pulse corresponding to the trace, α is the core radius of the multimode fiber, L is the length of the fiber, D is the chromatic dispersion of the multimode fiber at the wavelength of the light pulse, β is the coefficient of the delay and Δλ max is the maximum spectral width of the source intended to be used with the fiber, produces an equivalent modal dispersion value of less than 0.11 ps/m for (Δλ max x D) > 0.07 ps/m. The modification of the DMD graph to take account of the chromatic dispersion makes it possible to guarantee a calculated effective bandwidth EBc greater than 6000 MHz-km for multimode fibers used with multimode transverse sources.
