    摘要: An optical amplification device which includes first and second optical amplifiers, and a controller. The first optical amplifier receives a light and amplifies the received light. The second optical amplifier receives the light amplified by the first optical amplifier, and amplifies the received light. When a level of the light received by the first optical amplifier changes by Δ, the controller controls a level of the light received by the second optical amplifier to change by approximately −Δ. In various embodiments, the controller causes the sum of the gains of the first and second optical amplifiers to be constant. In other embodiments, the optical amplification device includes first and second optical amplifier and a gain adjustor. The gain adjustor detects a deviation in gain of the first optical amplifier from a target gain, and adjusts the gain of the second optical amplifier to compensate for the detected deviation.

    摘要: An optical fiber includes: a first core portion doped with rare earth ions; a second core portion having a lower refractive index than that of the first core portion, provided along an outer circumference of the first core portion, and doped with the rare earth ions; and a clad portion having a lower refractive index than that of the second core portion and provided along an outer circumference of the second core portion, and is configured such that a concentration of the rare earth ions added to the second core portion is higher than that to the first core portion. With this configuration, it is possible to suppress an amount of FWM crosstalk in an optical amplification by decreasing the length of a fiber while alleviating efficiency deterioration due to concentration quenching.

    摘要: An optical amplifier that improves the quality of WDM transmission by reducing four-wave mixing. An optical fiber has positive chromatic dispersion in a signal band and is used as an optical amplification medium for amplifying a wavelength division multiplex signal. An excitation section inputs excitation light to the optical fiber. In order to actualize mismatching of phases of optical signals with different wavelengths to be propagated, the optical fiber has positive chromatic dispersion in a signal band by which there is a great difference between a signal frequency, being a frequency of a signal to be amplified, and a zero-dispersion frequency, being a frequency at which chromatic dispersion is zero. As a result, the optical fiber functions as an optical amplification medium in which four-wave mixing is suppressed.

    摘要: An optical amplifier includes an optical amplification medium, an excitation source to stimulate the amplification medium to output at least one wavelength gain peak, and a gain equalizer to equalize the output of the amplification medium such that gain is produced at wavelengths other than the wavelength gain peak. The gain equalizer may attenuate gain at the peak wavelength. The gain equalizer may equalize the output of the amplification medium such that gain is produced at wavelengths less than the wavelength gain peak. The optical amplifier may include both a gain equalizer and automatic level control circuitry to respectively maintain substantially uniform gain at wavelengths within an optical signal band and maintain constant output power.

    摘要: An optical amplifier which suppresses the occurrence of a nonlinear optical phenomena, such as four-wave mixing. The optical amplifier includes an optical fiber doped with a rare earth element, and a light source providing excitation light to the fiber so that a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) light is amplified as the WDM light travels through the fiber from a first point to a second point along the fiber. A third point exists along the fiber between the first and second points at which a power of the WDM light substantially reaches a level producing a nonlinear optical phenomenal. A first portion of the fiber is between the first point and the third point, and a second portion of the fiber is between the third point and the second point. The second portion suppresses the occurrence of the nonlinear optical phenomena as compared to the first portion. The second portion can have various different constructions to provide the required suppression effect.
