摘要： A fiber optic amplifier as disclosed, comprised of a fiber optic, monomode waveguide which has a core and cladding. Part of the cladding over a predetermined region is removed and replaced by an active medium capable of absorbing light energy at a first wavelength and emitting light energy at a second wavelength. The active medium is a lasing dye which has an index of refraction adjusted to be slightly less than the index of refraction of the fiber core. The amount of cladding which is removed is adjusted such that a predetermined amount of penetration of the evanescent field from a pump light signal coupled into an end of the fiber penetrates the active medium. A probe signal to be amplified causes stimulated emission from the excited dye molecules by penetration of its evanescent field into the dye in the region where the cladding is removed.In the preferred embodiment a recirculating pump is used to circulate dye through a cavity which is placed over the portion of the fiber where the cladding is removed. The dye molecules in contact with the surface caused by removal of the cladding are continually changed. A temperature control unit maintains the temperature of the dye such that its index of refraction remains tuned to an amount just less than the index of refraction of the core.

摘要： Various methods, systems, and apparatuses are described in which a light source (101) capable of lasing is wavelength locked by an injected light signal. The light source (101) capable of lasing, such as a Fabry-Perot laser diode, may have antireflective coating on one or more facets of the light source (101) capable of lasing. The light source (101) capable of lasing receives a spectral slice of a light signal from a broadband light source (113) to wavelength lock the output wavelength of the light source (101) capable of lasing within the bandwidth of the injected light signal. A current pump (141) may bias the light source (101) capable of lasing to operate as a reflective regenerate semiconductor optical amplifier so that the injected light is reflected back out a front facet after being amplified and wavelength locked. The current pump (141) may also bias the light source (101) capable of lasing such that the externally injected narrow-band light signal into the light source (101) capable of lasing suppresses the lasing modes outside of the bandwidth of injected incoherent light.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses to provide wavelength locked WDM Passive Optical Networks (“PONs”) are described. A first transceiver transmits a set of optical signals in a first direction along a wavelength channel. A second transceiver transmits another set of optical signals along the same wavelength channel in another direction. The wavelength of the first transceiver is locked using an optical power of the optical signals of the second transceiver. The wavelength of the second transceiver is locked using the optical power of the optical signals of the first transceiver. A WDM MUX/De-MUX is coupled between the first transceiver and the second transceiver. An in-line gain element can be coupled to the WDM MUX/De-MUX to amplify the optical signals. The first transceiver and the second transceiver operate in a saturated gain condition.
