    摘要: An optical signal amplifier comprises a light source, a depolarizer, and a gain medium that transfers energy from a pump beam output from the depolarizer to the optical signal. The depolarizer may comprise one or more birefringent optical fibers which support two polarization modes, a fast mode and a slow mode. The light propagates in the fast mode at a higher velocity than the light propagates in the slow mode so as to impart phase delay as the light propagates in the birefringent optical fibers, thereby at least partially depolarizing the beam.

An optical repeater according to the present invention comprises the above-mentioned Raman amplifier and adapted to compensate loss in an optical fiber transmission line by the Raman amplifier. In a Raman amplification method according to the present invention, the shorter the central wavelength of the pumping light the higher light power of said pumping light. In the Raman amplifier according to the present invention, when a certain pumping wavelength is defined as a first channel, and second to n-th channels are defined to be arranged with an interval of about 1 THz toward a longer wavelength side, the pumping lights having wavelengths corresponding to the first to n-th channels are multiplexed, and an pumping light having a wavelength spaced apart from the n-th channel by 2 THz or more toward the longer wavelength side is combined with the multiplexed light, thereby forming the pumping light source. The pumping lights having wavelengths corresponding to the channels other than (n-1)-th and (n-2)-th channels may be multiplexed, thereby forming the pumping light source. The pumping lights having wavelengths corresponding to the channels other than (n-2)-th and (n-3)-th channels may be multiplexed, thereby forming the pumping light source.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for generating four-wave mixing to obtain idler light with high efficiency, in which the range of lengths of an optical fiber is appropriately set, and probe light and pumping light, having different frequencies, are launched into the optical fiber. When the nonlinear coefficient of the optical fiber, the loss per unit distance, and the wavelength and intensity of the probe light and pumping light are set to certain values, the idler light conversion efficiency at the output end of the optical fiber is a periodic function of an optical fiber having a maximal value and a minimal value. The maximum length of the optical fiber to be used to obtain four-wave mixing is set to be equal to or less than the length Lmax (Lmax=Lm+ΔL) which is given by adding the length of the optical fiber Lm, at which the idler light conversion efficiency takes on the first maximal value in the aforementioned periodic function and distance ΔL or 10% of L.

    摘要: A Raman amplifier, system and method using a plurality of pumps configured to pump light into an optical fiber so as to Raman-amplify an optical signal propagating through the optical fiber. The Raman amplifier also includes an optical coupler configured to optically interconnect the pumping device with the optical fiber, and a control unit configured to control the pumping device so as to achieve a target amplification performance. Further, the control unit monitors the Raman-amplified WDM signal and determines if the monitored Raman-amplified WDM signal is within an allowable tolerance of the target amplification performance. If the Raman-amplified signal is not within the allowable tolerance, the control unit actively controls the pumps to bring the monitored Raman-amplified signal within the allowable tolerance of the target amplification profile.
