    摘要: A wavelength converting method and apparatus which converts wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal light, having a plurality of channels, by four-wave mixing the WDM signal light with at least one pump lightwave. Wavelength conversion of the WDM signal is accomplished without producing noise by FWM the WDM signal with a pump lightwave, wherein the pump lightwave frequency is separated from the WDM signal by an interval equal to or greater than the bandwidth of the WDM signal. Two pump lightwaves can be used instead of one, wherein one of the pump lightwaves has a frequency on one side of the bandwidth of the WDM signal, and the average frequency of the two pump lightwaves is on the other side of the WDM signal bandwidth.

    摘要: An optical pulse generator comprises a comb-like dispersion profiled fiber formed into an optical loop mirror. The fiber may comprise three or more segments of fiber having alternating highly dispersive and highly nonlinear characteristics. The optical loop mirror construction splits an input pulse into two portions that propagate through the CDPF in opposite directions. The pulse portions are re-combined, and a compressed pulse with reduced noise is produced.

    摘要: A method of simultaneously specifying the wavelength dispersion and nonlinear coefficient of an optical fiber. Pulsed probe light and pulsed pump light are first caused to enter an optical fiber to be measured. Then, the power oscillation of the back-scattered light of the probe light or idler light generated within the optical fiber is measured. Next, the instantaneous frequency of the measured power oscillation is obtained, and the dependency of the instantaneous frequency relative to the power oscillation of the pump light in a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber is obtained. Thereafter, a rate of change in the longitudinal direction between phase-mismatching conditions and nonlinear coefficient of the optical fiber is obtained from the dependency of the instantaneous frequency. And based on the rate of change, the longitudinal wavelength-dispersion distribution and longitudinal nonlinear-coefficient distribution of the optical fiber are simultaneously specified.

    摘要: A multi-frequency light producing method and apparatus multiplies the number of optical channels present in an incident wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal light source by four-wave mixing (FWM) the WDM signal with at least one pump lightwave at least one time. By FWM the WDM light and a pump lightwave multiple times, wherein each FWM process is executed with a pump lightwave having a different frequency, either in series or parallel, the number of optical channels produced as a result of FWM effectively increases the number of optical channels present in addition to those from the WDM signal. The light producing method and apparatus can be employed in a telecommunications system as a an inexpensive light source producing a plurality of optical frequencies.
