    摘要: A monolithic nonplanar ring oscillator having an optically isotropic solid-state laser body for propagating laser radiation about a nonplanar ring path internal to the laser body is disclosed. The monolithic laser body is configured to produce a 2N reflection nonplanar ring light path, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, comprising 2N-1 total internal reflections and one reflection at a coupler in a single round trip. Undirectional traveling wave oscillation of the laser is induced by the geometry of the nonplanar ring path together with the effect of an applied magnetic field and partial polarizer characteristics of the oblique reflection from the coupler. The 6-reflection nonplanar ring oscillator makes possible otpimal unidirectional oscillation (low loss for the oscillating direction of propagation and, simultaneously high loss for the nonoscillating direction of propagation) in monolithic NPROs using materials with index of refraction smaller than the square root of 3, for example, laser glass.

    摘要: A coherent optical transmitter circuit is disclosed in which controlled chirp is employed, enabling the suppression of nonlinear polarization scattering in dual polarization coherent systems, such as those which employ dual polarization-quadrature phase-shift keying (DP-QPSK). By separately chirping the modulated signals of each polarization tributary signal, the polarization state of the output DP-QPSK signal varies during a time period corresponding to a symbol bit period. Such controlled variations in the output DP-QPSK signal result in the mitigation of nonlinear effects associated with the network infrastructure over which the signal is transmitted, resulting in enhanced system performance. Enhanced system performance, for example, can be seen in greater reach and improved signal quality of the transmitted signal.

    摘要: Optical autodiscovery is provide between two optical modules to insure that when an optical signal is coupled between the two optical module, the optical signal from a first module does not interfere with operation of a second module. The autodiscovery is implemented by sending an optical identification signal from the first optical module via the coupling to the second optical module from which signal, the second optical module can verify and determined acceptance of the coupled first optical module. During this autodiscovery process, the optical identification signal from the first optical module may be attenuated or shifted in optical spectrum so as not to interfere with the operation of the second optical module. Autodiscovery may also be employed in cases where a first optical module is to receive an optical signal from a second module.

    摘要: A wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) in an optical fiber transmission system launches analog signals, for instance a multi-channel television signal. The WDM enhances signal quality by transmitting along a single fiber two different optical wavelength signals, each carrying identical RF information. This results in a 3 dB improvement in carrier to noise ratio. The WDM combines two or more wavelengths centered around for instance 1550 nm or 1310 nm. A typical difference between the two wavelengths is 3 nm. In other embodiments, more than two wavelengths are used. The receiver is for instance a single photosensitive element. The phase of the two RF signals is adjusted in the optical or RF domain to be the same upon arrival at the receiver. In other embodiments, the receiver includes two photosensitive elements, each receiving from a receiver end WDM a single wavelength. In this case, the phase adjustment may be applied at the receiver in the optical or RF domain.
