摘要:
An optical telecommunication system has at least two sources of optical modulated signals at different wavelengths in a predetermined transmission wavelength band, together with a multiplexer for the signals, an optical fibre line connected at one end to the multiplexer, and a demultiplexer/receiver for the signals. The line comprises an optical fibre having a chromatic dispersion value lower than a predetermined value in the transmission wavelength band and increasing as wavelength increases. The fibre also has a zero value of chromatic dispersion at a wavelength lower than the minimum wavelength of the transmission wavelength band by such an amount that no local wavelength zero value of the chromatic dispersion present in the fibre and capable of generating a four-wave-mixing phenomenon is included in the band.
摘要:
An optical self-healing-ring communication network is described which include: a first optical communication line, forming a closed optical path; at least two add/drop nodes for optical signals, optically connected along the line; a second optical communication line forming a closed optical path and optically connected to the optical-signal add/drop nodes. Defined in the network are first and second mutually opposite travel directions of the optical signals, with respect to the position of the optical-signal add/drop nodes. At least one of said nodes further comprises selection means, controlled by the optical signals, for the selective dropping of the optical signals from one of the communication lines. At least one of the optical-signal add/drop nodes further include means for the simultaneous input of at least one optical signal in the first direction along the first communication line and in the second direction along the second communication line.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an optical amplifier and a telecommunication system including a plurality of the optical amplifiers connected in cascade, particularly adapted for a wavelength division multiplexing transmission, in which a combination of dopants in the active fiber core of the optical amplifiers enables a high signal/noise ratio to be achieved for all channels in a predetermined wavelength band, even in the presence of several simultaneously fed signals.
