    摘要: In the optical amplifier an optical divider based on long wavelength (or short wavelength) transmission type dielectric multi-layer filter divides input signal light according to wavelengths, and amplifying sections disposed in parallel and having different respective wavelength amplification regions respectively amplify light signals emitted from the optical divider, and an optical combiner based on long wavelength (or short wavelength) transmission type dielectric multi-layer filter combines light signals output from the respective amplifying sections. In another configuration of the optical amplifier, input signal light is divided using an optical divider based on a dielectric multi-layer filter of a long wavelength (or short wavelength) transmission type, and output signals from the divider are filtered using an optical filter connected in series to a short wavelength (or long wavelength) amplifier generating a loss in the long wavelength (or short wavelength) region of the light signals. Interference noise caused by residual reflection components in the dielectric multi-layer filter is thus suppressed, thereby increasing the bandwidth of useable wavelengths in the signal light.

    摘要: An optical wavelength division multiplexing network has a multi-level structure where a plurality of optical network units (ONUs) are connected to a lowest-level network. A node apparatus connected to networks other than the lowest-level network includes (a) passive optical components to branch optical signals from a higher-level network to a lower-level network, and couple optical signals from the lower-level network to the higher-level network, and (b) optical amplifiers for the optical signals. A node apparatus connected to the lowest-level network includes (a) an optical multiplexer/de-multiplexer to de-multiplex optical signals from the higher-level network, selectively output an optical signal to each ONU, and multiplex wave-length specific optical signals from the ONUs into a multiplexed optical signal, and (b) optical amplifiers for the optical signals. The node apparatuses provide an optical communication path between the higher-level network and the lower-level (or lowest-level) network without converting the optical signals into electrical signals.

    摘要: By using a combination of a plurality of completely unequally spaced channel allocations, the influence of four wave mixing is mitigated even while it is incompletely unequally spaced channel allocation, and it is possible both to decrease the occupied bandwidth and increase the number of channels. A plurality of completely unequally spacing channel allocations are combined, and the number of channels changes depending on the amount of scattering of an optical fiber and the frequency that there exists zero dispersion wavelengths on a transmission path. The completely unequally spaced channel allocations of N1-channels in a first wavelength region including the zero dispersion wavelength &lgr;0 or the mode zero dispersion wavelength &lgr;A are partitioned, and then in sequence the completely unequally spaced channel allocation of N2-, N3-, . . . , channels is partitioned, and the wavelength interval of N channels is set by combining all or a part thereof (where N1≧N224 . . . >Nj≧Nk−1≧Nk).

    摘要: The present invention provides a light generation method and a light source that are preferable in obtaining a single-mode light having high outputs, a small wavelength spectral bandwidth, and a low intensity noise. A white output from a white-light source and having wavelength components over a wide-band in a wavelength spectrum passes through an isolator and is then filtered by a disc-shaped optical filter. A transmitted light is input to a semiconductor optical amplifier having its polarization plane regulated by a polarization controller. An output from the amplifier passes through an isolator and is then filtered by a disc-shaped optical filter again to generate a single-mode light having a small spectral bandwidth and high outputs. Polarization control by the polarization controller corresponds to control of the polarization plane of a semiconductor laser in the semiconductor optical amplifier so as to obtain a maximum gain from the amplifier. This configuration enables a single-mode light having a small spectral bandwidth and high outputs to be easily generated at an arbitrary wavelength.

    摘要: A first optical fiber transmission path is used to transmit continuous-wave light for upstream signal light from the center node to each of the remote nodes, while a second optical fiber transmission path is used to transmit downstream signal light from the center node to each remote node and to transmit upstream signal light (obtained by modulating continuous-wave light) from each remote node to the center node. In this network, specific wavelength bandwidths are allocated to each remote node for the continuous-wave lights (for upstream signal lights) and the downstream signal lights, and the wavelength bandwidths for the continuous-wave lights (for upstream signal lights) and the downstream signal lights are alternately set.

    摘要: A multilevel light-intensity modulating circuit for suppressing the amplitude distortion regarding intermediate levels, caused by the conversion from a multilevel electric signal to a multilevel modulated optical signal. The circuit comprises a section for distributing an input optical carrier into n-channel optical carriers; n light-intensity modulators for modulating intensities of the optical carriers by using input two-level electric signals; a control section for producing a phase difference between the n-channel two-level modulated optical signals; a control section for assigning a different light intensity to each of the n-channel two-level modulated optical signals; and a section for combining the n-channel two-level modulated optical signals obtained via the control sections, and outputting a 2n-level modulated optical signal. The phase difference and the different light intensity are defined in advance so as to produce the 2n-level modulated optical signal.
