    摘要: An optical receiver includes a first substrate including a demultiplexer and a first optical waveguide array. An input of the demultiplexer is configured to receive a wavelength division multiplexed optical input signal having a plurality of channels. Each of the plurality of channels corresponds to one of a plurality of wavelengths. Each of the plurality of outputs is configured to supply a corresponding one of the plurality of channels. The first optical waveguide array has a plurality of inputs. Each of the inputs of the first optical waveguide array is configured to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of channels. A second substrate is in signal communication with the first substrate and includes an optical detector array. The optical detector array has a plurality of inputs, each of which is configured to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of channels and generate an electrical signal in response thereto.

    摘要: A semiconductor pump laser uses a depolarzer to depolarize the pump light entering the fiber amplifier. The depolarized light source is useful for reducing polarization dependent gain of fiber amplifiers. The pump laser includes one or more semiconductor, coherence-collapsed laser sources emitting polarized pump outputs, and one or more depolarizers disposed to depolarize the polarized pump output from the lasers. One or more fiber outputs are coupled to the one or more depolarizers to receive depolarized pump light. The depolarizer may include an N×M polarization preserving coupler having N inputs and M outputs, N and M being at least 2, an input to the depolarizer at a first coupler input, an output port from the depolarizer at a first coupler output. A polarization-controlling optical path is coupled between a second coupler output and a second coupler input. A polarization of light exiting the N×M coupler through the second coupler output is substantially orthogonal to a polarization of light entering the N×M coupler through the second coupler input.

    摘要: Optical pumping arrangements are provided for the broadband or multiple wavelength pumping of optical sources. Sources may be based on Raman gain media and may use multiple output couplers to couple out different wavelength ranges. Cascaded Raman resonator (CRR) configurations may also be used. Overlapping resonators at different wavelengths may be configured to share gain media, and may have separate portions in separate optical paths. Attenuation filters may also be used that are matched to the gain profile of a gain medium, to flatten the gain spectrum and allow equalization of gain to different output wavelengths. In one embodiment, polarization maintaining fiber is used to develop resonant conditions at different wavelengths in different polarization states. Wideband output gratings may be substituted for narrowband gratings to provide CRR configurations with a broader output band. Broadband amplification may also be provided by using a laser source operating in coherence collapse. The multiple wavelength pumping lends itself to a pumping arrangement in which sources at different wavelengths are combined into separate transmission/gain media such as the different fibers of an optical fiber cable.
