摘要:
This invention is a tunable dispersion compensation apparatus that suppresses the effects of the transmission channel dispersion which impedes transmission when optical signals used in high-speed communications are transmitted across long distances among various points. It is an apparatus that performs dispersion compensation upon received optical signals based on information that accompanies the received optical signals, or an apparatus that performs dispersion compensation in advance upon optical signals to be sent based on information related to the destination of the optical signals to be sent, including: an input block and output block for optical signals, with a dispersion element that has wavelength dispersion characteristics and a wavelength shifter that is able to adjust the amount of shift depending on the input optical signal provided in a circulating light path upon the light path from the input block to the output block, and further including a constitution whereby the input optical signal circulates around a circulating light path containing the dispersion element and wavelength shifter a stipulated number of times before reaching the output block, and a constitution whereby the number of times the light circulates is determined based on the information and input to the wavelength shifter.

A resonance type optical modulator includes an optical path having electro-optical effect characteristics, a modulation electrode formed along the optical path for applying an electric field to the optical path, a common electrode formed in opposition to the modulation electrode, a feeding line that is connected to the modulation electrode and stubs connected to the feeding line, wherein the feeding line, stubs and common electrode are provided on one side of a region that is divided by the modulation electrode. A specific example is a resonance type optical modulator using a symmetric or an asymmetric electrode, that includes an optical path having electro-optical effect characteristics, a first stub (an open stub) (an open-ended asymmetric coplanar waveguide) or a short stub (a short-ended asymmetric coplanar waveguide), a second stub (an open or short stub) connected to the first stub, a feeding line connected to the first and second stubs and a common electrode, wherein the first and second stubs are formed along a single optical path to comprise a modulation electrode for applying an electric field to the optical path. As a result, the modulator has a configuration easy to fabricate without damaging the effective modulation field strength applied to the optical path, making it possible to realize high modulation efficiency with a low level of electric power.

An optical wavelength multiplexing frequency shift keying modulation system. The system includes an optical wavelength multiplexing signal acquisition unit for outputting an optical wavelength multiplexing signal. A n optical frequency shift keying modulation unit acquires an optical frequency shift keying signal, including an upper side band signal and a lower side band signal, by performing frequency modulation to the optical wavelength multiplexing signal output from the optical wavelength multiplexing signal acquisition unit. An optical frequency shift keying signal separation unit separates the optical frequency shift keying signal output from the optical frequency shift keying modulation unit into an upper side band signal and a lower side band signal.

A low-noise optical frequency converter uses a predetermined microwave electric signal to modulate an input light wave and output a light wave that includes a first-order upper-sideband or lower-sideband and a third-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband. The frequency converter modulates a light wave identical to the input light wave with a signal having a frequency that is three times that of the microwave signal, to form a first light wave having a first-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband. The first light wave is mixed with a second light wave having a first-order upper-sideband or lower-sideband and a third-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband, with a phase of the third-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband reversed to a phase of the first light wave, thereby suppressing third-order sidebands.

An apparatus is provided for using modulation signals to optically modulate lightwaves of multiple frequencies, using a single optical modulator. A multiple-wavelength optical modulation apparatus in which with respect to a natural number n that is not higher than a number N of modulation signals that is not lower than a number of input lightwaves, fn is input light component of channel n, Fn is modulation frequency, An is a lower sideband order and Bn is an upper sideband order corresponding to sideband channels generated by modulation, the apparatus comprises: an input filter, an optical modulator and an output filter on a single optical path; A lightwave input through an input filter is reflected between the input filter and an output filter, being modulated during each round trip, and is output via the output or input filter when the light has reached a frequency determined by the output or input filter. The time required for each light component of channel n to make a round trip is an integer multiple of one period of each modulation signal having a frequency Fn (=1/Fn). A light component travelling in one direction is reverse phase modulated when the round-trip time is an odd multiple of one period (=1/Fn), and a light component travelling in both directions is in phase modulated when the time required for the light component to travel both ways is an even multiple of one period (=1/Fn).
