摘要:
The present invention provides an optical transmission system that enables high-speed transmission of 40 Gb/s with low residual dispersion while maintaining the yield of a dispersion compensating fiber. In the present invention, the dispersion compensating fiber is connected to each span of an optical fiber for transmission. One set of an optical transmission path is formed by this optical fiber for transmission and the dispersion compensating fiber, and this one set of optical transmission path is connected in multiple stages and connected to a transmitter and a receiver. By setting the conditions of dispersion compensation in each span comparatively leniently, managing the residual dispersion of each transmission span, and suitably arranging each transmission span, an optical transmission system is composed in which adequate dispersion compensation is performed over the entire optical transmission path.
摘要:
In fusion-splicing a dispersion compensating optical fiber having a negative dispersion slope, with a connection optical fiber having a different near field pattern from that of the dispersion compensating optical fiber, if for the connection optical fiber, one is selected such that a theoretical joint loss in a used wavelength, obtained from an overlap integral of a near field pattern of the dispersion compensating optical fiber after fusion splicing and a near field pattern of the connection optical fiber after fusion splicing is presumed to be 0.3 dB or less, in an unconnected state, a construction enabling connection at a low loss results.
摘要:
A higher order mode dispersion compensating fiber includes an optical fiber and a first loss layer which is provided within the fiber and which attenuates a lower order mode propagating through the optical fiber while not attenuating a higher order mode which is higher than the lower order mode. A dispersion compensating fiber mode converter for a higher order fiber includes a single mode fiber; a higher order mode dispersion compensating fiber; and a fused and extended portion which has been formed by fusing and extending the single mode fiber and the higher order mode fiber. The fused and extended portion converts between the LP01 mode of the single mode fiber and the LP02 mode of the higher order mode dispersion compensating fiber.
