摘要: An optical fibre amplifier, laser or superluminescent source, consisting of a chalcogenide glass matrix hosting trivalent rare earth ions and which is doped with oxide in the form of a metallic oxide. The device utilizes the properties of the added oxide to improve the fabrication and efficiency of optical waveguide sources, in particular for applications around 1.3 νm. Specifically, the oxide broadens the wavelenght range for pump absorption, broadens the wavelength range for light emission, increases the device efficiency through a change in lifetime of certain laser levels and modifies properties of the glass to prevent crystallization during fibre fabrication. The device exploits the intentional addition of oxide to improve amplifier, laser, glass and fibre properties.

摘要: PCT No. PCT/GB95/00928 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 26, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 26, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 22, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/29522 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 2, 1995The core of a low phonon energy glass optical fibre is doped with trivalent Dysprosium ions for application as an efficient optical fibre amplifier operating around 1.3 mu m. The device utilises the transition 6H9/2-6F11/2 to 6H15/2. The low phonon energy (high quantum efficiency) glasses include mixed halides, chalcogenides and chalcohalides. Improvements in efficiency can be achieved by co-doping of the fibre core with Eu3+ and/or Tb3+ ions.

摘要: An optical fibre coupler has at least an m-core optical fibre (100) optically coupled to an n-core optical fibre (110), where m and n are positive integers and m is greater than 1. A channel add/drop multiplexer comprises such an optical fibre coupler and a Bragg grating (130) disposed on the m-core fibre outside the coupling region (120).

摘要: An optical fibre device comprises an optical fibre null coupler (10) formed of two or more optical fibres (20, 30) fused together at a coupling region, at least a part of the coupling region being mechanically twisted substantially about a longitudinal axis of the coupling region. The twisting can alleviate the polarisation dependance observed in untwisted null coupler devices. In other embodiments of the invention, substantially polarization-insensitive operation of a null coupler acousto-optic tunable filter is obtained by simultaneously applying two acoustic waves.The two waves provide phase-matched coupling for each of the individual eigen-polarization states. The polarization dependence of the device to excitation at one of the acoustic frequencies leads to two different filter responses, one corresponding to each polarisation. One of these two responses will be at higher optical wavelength than the other, and if a particular input polarisation gives rise to, say, the higher optical wavelength filter response of the pair at a particular acoustic frequency it will do so at other acoustic frequencies. So, if two acoustic frequencies are applied, the acoustic frequencies can be selected so that the higher wavelength response of the two filter responses from one acoustic frequency overlies in optical wavelength the lower wavelength response of the two filter responses from the other acoustic frequency, then the combination of the two overlying filter responses (which relate to the two different input polarisations) provides a substantially polarisation independent filter response.
