    摘要: An optical transmission system exploits the reduced signal-to-noise (SNR) requirements for low-bit rate channels to devise a new wavelength channel allocation scheme which increases the number of channels that a WDM system can support. Wavelengths of low-bit rate channels are assigned outside a flat-gain window (i.e., flat-passband region) of the system. The channel allocation scheme uses the high-bit rate channels located in the flat-passband region of wavelengths and the lower-bit rate channels located outside this passband region with progressively lower-bit rate channels located farther outside this passband region. Low-bit rate channels are also assigned to region(s) of the passband where the non-linear threshold power level of the system may be exceeded.

    摘要: In accordance with the invention, an optical communication system is provided with one or more automatic dispersion compensation modules. Each module has an adjustable dispersion element, a data integrity monitor and a feedback network whereby the monitor adjusts the dispersion element to optimize system performance. In a preferred embodiment the dispersion compensating modules comprise chirped fiber Bragg gratings in which the chirp is induced in the grating by passing a current along distributed thin film heaters deposited along the length of the fiber. The magnitude of the applied current determines the dispersion of the grating. A data integrity monitor is configured to sense the integrity of transmitted data and to provide electrical feedback for controlling the current applied to the grating.
