    摘要: An optical communication system has a configuration in which an optical transmission line is laid between a repeater (transmitter) and another repeater (receiver). The optical transmission line is formed by fusion-splicing a first optical fiber on the upstream side and a second optical fiber on the downstream side. The first optical fiber has a transmission loss of 0.25 dB or less, and an effective area of 80 μm2 or above (preferably 100 μm2 or above), at a wavelength of 1550 nm, which is the wavelength of signal light. The second optical fiber is connected to the downstream end of the first optical fiber and has positive dispersion regions and negative dispersion regions which are alternately arranged along the longitudinal direction and whose chromatic dispersions at a wavelength of 1550 nm are positive and negative, respectively.

    摘要: Signal wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ3 of signal light components multiplexed at signal multiplexing sections 31, 41, 51 of multiplexing stations 3, 4, 5 installed on the input end side of an EDFA 2 on an optical transmission line 1 are set such that the wavelength-dependent noise figure of EDFA 2 successively decreases from the signal wavelength λ1 multiplexed at the signal multiplexing section 31 closest to the input end of EDFA 2 to λ2 and λ3. On the other hand, the transmission length of individual signal light component before being fed into the EDFA 2 is the shortest in the signal light component at λ1 and successively increases at λ2 and λ3. Thus, the order of magnitude of input signal light power is the same as the order of highness of noise figure in EDFA 2, whereby fluctuations in S/N ratio in the resulting amplified light are reduced.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a light source apparatus having a structure for stably supplying broadband pulsed light having a wavelength spectrum with an excellent flatness over a wide band. The light source apparatus employs, as a seed light source, a short-pulsed light source having such an excellent output pulse characteristic that the frequency bandwidth extending until the output pulse drops by 10 dB or 20 dB from a peak is 5 THz or more. The light source apparatus also includes a broadband light producing fiber having an optical characteristic suitable for combining with the short-pulsed light source. The broadband light producing fiber inputs pulsed light from the pulsed light source, and produces the broadband pulsed light by utilizing a nonlinear optical phenomenon. This structure yields broadband pulsed light having such a wavelength spectrum that a region whose power fluctuation is suppressed to 6 dB or less extends over 100 nm or more.

    摘要: A nonlinear optical signal-treating apparatus can suppress the distortion of pulse light to be inputted into an optical fiber to an allowable level or less. The apparatus comprises a pulse light source for outputting first pulse light, a first optical fiber, a second optical fiber that is spliced with the first optical fiber and has a mode-field diameter smaller than that of the first optical fiber, and a light-introducing system for inputting the first pulse light into the first optical fiber. The second optical fiber receives the first pulse light and generates second pulse light having a newly produced wavelength. The peak power ratio of the first pulse light outputted from the first optical fiber to that inputted into the first optical fiber and the pulse width ratio of the first pulse light outputted from the first optical fiber to that inputted into the first optical fiber are 0.5 to 1.5.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a light source apparatus that has a base structure capable of generating SC light and further having a structure that enables the shaping of the spectral waveform of the SC light, power adjustment of the SC light, or adjustment of the frequency of repetition of the pulse train that contains the SC light. For example, a light source apparatus that enables shaping of spectral waveforms comprises a seed light source that emits seed light which is a pulse train or continuous light; an optical fiber that generates SC light from the seed light, and spectrum shaping means for completely or partially changing the spectral waveform of the SC light. The shaping of the spectral waveform changes the maximum power of the seed light by changing the optical coupling efficiency of the seed light source and optical fiber, for example, thereby suitably deforms the spectrum of the light.
