    摘要： An optical add-drop module (OADM) includes in the through-path exactly two thin-film filters (TFFs) having respective passbands that approximately coincide in wavelength. Each TFF has a respective across-the-band isolation level, representing the smallest isolation achieved at any wavelength within the passband. The respective reflection characteristic curves of the two TFFs are at least partially complementary, such that the OADM isolation level exceeds the logarithmic sum of the across-the-band isolation levels of the respective TFFs.

    摘要： A tunable semiconductor laser comprises a gain section having an MQW active region, a uniform pitch grating DFB region, and first waveguide. A composite reflector, including a second MQW region and a second waveguide, forms a cavity resonator with the DFB region. A voltage applied to the composite reflector induces a quantum confined stark effect, thereby allowing the wavelength to be altered. In one embodiment, the current drive to the active region and the shape of the first waveguide (e.g., a raised-sine function) are mutually adapted so that N longitudinal modes have essentially the same threshold gain and so that the DFB region spanned by the first waveguide is segmented into N zones, each zone providing optical feedback at a different wavelength corresponding to a different longitudinal mode.

    摘要： A fiber-optic WDM ring carries communication traffic among a plurality of nodes, each node associated with respective subscriber premises. The WDM ring includes an optical add-drop module (OADM) at each node for adding and dropping signals associated with that node. The WDM ring also includes active terminal equipment at each node for conditioning incoming and outgoing data and for converting between the optical and electrical domains. The OADM at each of at least some nodes, to be referred to as enhanced nodes, is situated at a site physically separated from the powered terminal equipment, and is coupled to the powered terminal equipment via an optical medium. At each enhanced node, traffic not destined for that node is routed through no more than one enclosure on subscriber premises that requires a connection. If there is such enclosure, it contains the OADM.

    摘要： A tunable semiconductor laser comprises a gain section having an MQW active region, a uniform pitch grating DFB region, and first waveguide. A composite reflector, including a second MQW region and a second waveguide, forms a cavity resonator with the DFB region. A tuning voltage applied to the composite reflector induces refractive index changes, thereby allowing the center wavelength to be altered. A dither signal applied the composite reflector broadens the spectrum of the laser output, thereby reducing SBS in fiber optic systems

    摘要： A programmable and latchable device for wavelength shifting and chromatic dispersion compensating is disclosed. An optical grating such as a Bragg grating, a nonchirped grating, or a linearly or non-linearly chirped grating, is magnetostrictively strained to alter the dispersion compensator characteristics. In a preferred embodiment, a gradient magnetostrictive body is bonded along its length to the fiber grating. In yet another preferred embodiment, a magnetostrictive body is bonded onto the length of the fiber grating, and a gradient generating, programmable and latchable magnet component is placed adjacent the magnetostrictive body. The body is then latchably strained to a desired level by controlling the extent of magnetization in the magnetostrictive material and the magnet so as to induce or enhance chirping characteristics in the grating. Various optical applications using such are disclosed.

    摘要： In a WDM fiber-optic network, a unique laser transmitter enables signals to be routed at three hierarchical levels: at one level discrimination among signal paths is based on N WDM wavelength channels, at another level discrimination is based on m AM subcarrier frequency channels, and at a third level discrimination is based on n FM subcarrier frequency channels. Thus, a total of Nmn distinguishable optical channels can be accommodated and a like number of users served. The laser transmitter comprises a broadband, tunable semiconductor laser which includes an intracavity, integrated composite reflector to which a tuning voltage and a FM dither signal are applied, an intracavity gain section to which drive current is applied, and an extracavity, integrated electroabsorption modulator to which an information (e.g., data, voice, video) signal and an AM dither signal are applied. The tuning voltage provides coarse wavelength tuning among N WDM channels, whereas the FM dither signal produces an additional m channels via FM-SCM. The AM dither likewise produces an additional n channels via AM-SCM.
