摘要:
In an optical amplifier of the present invention, an input light is supplied to one end of an optical fiber connected to an output port, and the power of a light In an opposite direction which is input to the output port from the one end of the optical fiber, is measured, thereby obtaining a stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) occurrence threshold in the optical fiber based on the measurement result. Then, using the SBS occurrence threshold, a relation been the input light power and an occurrence amount of the self phase modulation (SPM) or the like in the optical fiber is obtained to be reflected on a control of the optical amplifier, so that an occurrence of the SPM or the like in the optical fiber is suppressed. As a result, It becomes possible to accurately measure, with a simple configuration, the nonlinear optical properties of the optical fiber actually connected to the output port of the optical amplifier, so that the optical S/N ratio degradation due to a nonlinear optical effect can be effectively suppressed.

The device according to the present invention relates to phase conjugate conversion and wavelength conversion. This device includes a polarization beam splitter and a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF). The polarization beam splitter has first, second, and third ports. The first port is supplied with signal light including first and second polarization components respectively having first and second polarization planes orthogonal to each other, and with pump light. The first and second ports are coupled by the first polarization plane, and the first and third ports are coupled by the second polarization plane. The PMF has first and second ends, and has a polarization mode to be maintained between the first and second ends. The first end is optically connected to the second port so that the first polarization plane is adapted to the polarization mode, and the second end is optically connected to the third port so that the second polarization plane is adapted to the polarization mode. Converted light generated by four-wave mixing based on the signal light and the pump light in the PMF is output from the first port, so that the converted light can be taken out by an optical circulator.

An optical communication system which uses optical phase conjugation to compensate for chromatic dispersion and optical Kerr effect. The optical communication system includes a first fiber, a phase conjugator, and a second fiber. The first fiber transmits a light signal therethrough, and is a polarization maintaining fiber. The light signal is a linear polarized wave. The phase conjugator receives the light signal from the first fiber and produces a corresponding phase conjugate light signal. The second fiber receives the phase conjugate light signal from the phase conjugator and transmits the phase conjugate light signal therethrough. A wavelength division multiplexing optical communication system is also provided which uses optical phase conjugation to compensate for dispersion and optical Kerr effect.

The invention provides an optical wavelength multiplex transmission method wherein a band in the proximity of a zero dispersion wavelength of an optical fiber is used and optical signals are disposed at efficient channel spacings taking an influence of the band, the wavelength dispersion and the four wave mixing into consideration to realize an optical communication system of an increased capacity which is not influenced by crosstalk by FWM. When optical signals of a plurality of channels having different wavelengths are to be multiplexed and transmitted using an optical fiber, a four wave mixing suppressing guard band of a predetermined bandwidth including the zero-dispersion wavelength null0 of the optical fiber is set, and signal light waves of the plurality of channels to be multiplexed are arranged on one of the shorter wavelength side and the longer wavelength side outside the guard band.
摘要:
An optical transmission system in which influences of worsening of the waveform by SPM are cancelled by setting an amount of compensation of a dispersion compensator at about 50% of a total amount of dispersion of an optical fiber transmission line so that received waveform is almost not varied, even if light intensity is varied. In the case where a plurality of dispersion compensators are used, the number of compensators is optimized by setting arrangement interval in the neighborhood of a receiving end at a small value. Further, in a transmission line, in which amounts of dispersion of optical fibers have positive and negative fluctuations, the smallest transmission distance of a transmission system is increased by effecting dispersion compensation so that an expected value of the total amount of dispersion of the transmission line is abnormal dispersion.

An optical demultiplexer comprises a clock regenerating circuit for regenerating a clock signal for each optical signal channel from an optical multiplexed signal. An optical switch separates each optical signal channel from the optical multiplexed signal in accordance with the clock signal regenerated by the clock regenerating circuit. An identification information extraction circuit extracts identification information contained in each optical signal channel separated by the optical switch. A control circuit changes output destinations so that each optical signal channel is output to a designated destination in accordance with the identification information extracted by the identification information extraction circuit. The identification information is appended as identification data to a data signal represented by the optical signal, and the identification information extraction circuit extracts the identification data contained in the data signal reconstructed from each optical signal channel. A signal switching circuit is provided between outputs of the optical switch and output destinations, wherein the control circuit changes output destinations by changing connection relationships in the signal switching circuit between the outputs of the optical switch and the output destinations, for example, by changing the phase of the clock signal supplied to the optical switch.
