摘要:
An optical amplifier, particularly useful for optical fiber telecommunication lines, which includes an active fiber doped with a fluorescent dopant which provides light energy emission at the wavelength of the transmission signals when the latter signals are applied thereto. One section of telecommunication line is connected to one input of a dichroic coupler, the output of which is connected to one end of the active fiber and the other input of which is connected to a source of pumping energy at a wavelength lower than that of the transmission signals. The other end of the active fiber is connected to another section of the telecommunication line. In rectilinear form, the active fiber provides single-mode propagation of the energy at the signal wavelength and multi-mode propagation of energy at the pumping energy wavelength. However, the active fiber is bent to a radius of curvature for at least 70% of its length which will provide only fundamental mode propagation at the pumping energy wavelength which also reduces the mode diameter for the transmission signals.

摘要:
Active-fiber optical amplifier connected to optical fiber lines or a telecommunication signal source through energy reflection limiting means, such as optical isolators, for limiting the reflected energy, due to Rayleigh scattering, which reaches the active fiber, to permit increased amplifier gain. The input of the active fiber is connected to a dichroic coupler which is also connected to a pumping energy source by an optical fiber having a bevelled end surface or an antireflection coating at the energy source end to limit reflection of energy to the active fiber. Also, a telecommunication system including one or more of such protected amplifiers.
摘要:
An optical fiber telecommunication line composed of a number of series connected optical cables arranged end-to-end includes an active core optical fiber amplifier for the transmitted signals between each adjacent pair of optical cables. Two pumping optical radiation sources are connected to each active core optical fiber within each of the amplifiers, one source for each end of a single active core optical fiber. One of these two sources is placed into service and the second one is kept in reserve to be placed into service if the first one fails. A microprocessing circuit causes the sources to send distinctive recognizable alarm signals indicative of the state of an associated amplifier to terminal stations at the ends of the line and to receive therefrom control signals to control and exchange the functions between the two sources as necessary.

A multi-channel optical telecommunication system and method for transmitting optical signals having distinct wavelengths. Spectral selection is provided for the optical signals to add or drop signals of predetermined wavelengths. The signals are divided into at least two series of different wavelengths. The signals of each series are dropped or signals of corresponding wavelengths are added, and the signals are then combined.
