An optical transmitter outputs WDM signal lights comprising signal lights with 100 wavelengths of 10 Gbit/s, onto an optical transmission fiber. In the optical transmission line, a transmission fiber and a local area dispersion compensation fiber are disposed per repeater span defined by an optical amplification repeater, the local area dispersion compensation fiber is for compensating the average chromatic dispersion in the repeater span to become 2 ps/nm/km as well as a dispersion slope to become zero, and a wide area dispersion compensation fiber for compensating the average chromatic dispersion to become −0.2 ps/nm/km as well as the dispersion slope to become zero is disposed per predetermined number of optical repeater spans. The optical transmission fiber comprises a single mode optical fiber with large core diameter having a zero dispersion wavelength at a 1.3 &mgr;m band and plus chromatic dispersion at a signal wavelength band (a 1.55 &mgr;m band).

An optical fiber (12a) with a large effective core area and a large chromatic dispersion value is disposed on an input side of signal light, and an optical fiber (12b) with a small effective core area and a small chromatic dispersion value or a chromatic dispersion value of negative polarity is disposed on an output side of the signal light. A pumping light source (14) generates pumping light of 1450 nm to cause Raman amplification of 1550 nm in the optical fiber (12b). The output light from the pumping light source (14) enters the optical fiber (12b) from the back through a WDM optical coupler (16). Provided that y=(Pin−&agr;)/(Pp·10 Log L) where input power of the optical fiber (12a) (i.e. output power of an optical transmitter (10)) is Pin, a total loss of the optical fibers (12a and 12b) is &agr;, pumping power for Raman amplification is Pp, and a total length of the optical fibers (12a and 12b) is L, the relation between ratio x (0≦x≦1) of the optical fiber (12b) and y is expressed as y=6.63×10−2x−0.077. Here, the satisfactory x value is in a range from +0.2 to −0.2 of the y value.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to prevent an increase of the degree of polarization of an output pumping light even if one of pumping light sources has a failure. Laser diodes (30a, 30b) are composed of FP-LDs made of InGaAsP to laser-oscillate at 1480 nm band. The outputs from the laser diodes (30a, 30b) enter a polarizing beam splitter (32) in orthogonal state of polarization and are combined there. The combined light by the polarizing beam splitter (32) enters a depolarizing element (34) and is depolarized there.

An optical transmitter which reverses the ON-OFF state of the optical intensity of a bright soliton lightwave and generates a dark soliton lightwave having an optical phase shift, an optical receiver for the dark soliton lightwave, and a superfast, high-capacity optical transmission system which is capable of increasing the soliton pulse array density while suppressing timing jitter. The optical transmission system is provided with the optical transmitter which transmits a dark soliton lightwave having digital information, the optical receiver which receives the dark soliton lightwave as a return-to-zero pulse and a transmission optical fiber interconnecting the transmitter and the receiver. The system has a construction in which the transmission optical fiber has, at the wavelength of the transmission lightwave, a normal dispersion value which makes negative the average wavelength dispersion value over the entire length of the optical fiber, and the average value of the wavelength dispersion value and the optical output intensity of the transmission optical fiber have values so that a non-linear optical effect and a wavelength dispersion effect, which are exerted on the transmission lightwave, are balanced with each other.

An object of the present invention is to realize almost the same transmission characteristic in all wavelengths at a transmission rate of 10 Gb/s or more. An optical transmitter 10 outputs WDM signal light multiplexed with signal light of a plurality of wavelengths toward an optical transmission line 12. The optical transmission line 12 comprises an optical transmission fiber 14, an optical repeating amplifier 16 and a dispersion compensating fiber 18. The gain characteristic of the optical repeating amplifier 16 is set so that the gain becomes the maximum at the effective zero dispersion wavelength of the optical transmission line 12 and that lowers inversely proportional to the distance from the effective zero dispersion wavelength. The whole optical transmission line 12 is set so that the peak power deviation between the effective zero dispersion wavelength &lgr;0 and the wavelength &lgr;1 or &lgr;n on both end becomes approximately 4 dB.
