摘要:
A demultiplexer in a dispersion compensation system of the invention separates an optical signal in a 1520-1620 nm band propagating through a first common transmission path into two bands, i.e., C band (1520-1565 nm) and L band (1565-162O nm). The demultiplexer then sends the optical signal in the C band and the optical signal in the L band to a first branch path and a second branch path, respectively. A first dispersion compensation device is provided in the first common transmission path to compensate for dispersion in the C and L bands. A second dispersion compensation device is provided in the second branch path to compensate for dispersion in the L band if the dispersion compensation by the first dispersion compensation device is insufficient. It is thus possible to sufficiently compensate for the dispersion of an optical transmission path in a wide signal band.

An optical transmission fiber for use in a metropolitan or access network is disclosed. The transmission line includes a fiber being single mode at a first operating wavelength of around 1310 nm and a second operating wavelength of around 1550 nm. The dispersion of the fiber is negative at one of the first and second operating wavelengths and positive at the other of the first and second operating wavelengths, with an absolute value of between about 5 ps/nm/km and 15 ps/nm/km. The fiber also has a zero dispersion wavelength that is located between the first and second operating wavelengths, and an effective area at a wavelength around 1550 nm greater than about 60 νm2. The cabled fiber has a cutoff wavelength less than about 1300 nm. The fiber allows wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) operation in both the bands (1310 nm and 1550 nm) by reducing nonlinear effects such as four-wave mixing (FWM).

Fiber optics applicable to optical communication in not only 1.3 mum wavelength band but 1.55 mum wavelength band as a transmission medium in a WDM optical communication system capable of transmitting a multi-channel signal light to enable a signal transmission in a broader band. The fiber optics mainly consist of quartz glass and are provided with a core area along a specified axis and a clad area surrounding the core area. The fiber optics with such a structure have, as typical optical characteristics, a cable cutoff wavelength of up to 1260 nm, a transmission loss of up to 0.32 dB/km at a wavelength of 1310 nm, and an OH group-caused loss increase amount of up to 0.3 dB/km at a wavelength of 1380 nm.

A dispersion slope compensating optical waveguide, such as a fiber, having a high negative dispersion slope (i.e. a dispersion slope in the range of -2 ps/nm2-km to -40ps/nm2- km) is provided. The optical ps/waveguide comprises a core region and a clad layer. The core region further comprises a first region and a second region surrounding the first region. The width of the second region is sufficient to confine electromagnetic radiation within a selected wavelength range to substantially only the core region. Thus, bending loss in the waveguide is substantially reduced. The negative dispersion slope of the dispersion slope compensating optical waveguide can be used in conjunction with a dispersion compensating optical waveguide as a dual optical waveguide to compensate both the dispersion and dispersion slope of a transmission waveguide. An optical span and an optical transmission system incorporating the dual optical waveguide is also provided.

Disclosed is a single mode optical waveguide fiber which limits nonlinear effects at both the 1300nm window and the 1550nm window of operations. Examples of core region refractive index profiles which yield the required properties are a modified step index profile and profiles which have a maximum Δ% which is spaced apart from the centerline of the waveguide fiber. According to the invention the modified step index profile results in increased nonlinear effective area at both wavelengths.

The present invention relates to an optical fiber which enables favorable optical communications in 1.3- µ m and 1.55- µ m wavelength bands, and an optical transmission system including the same.
