摘要： An optical performance monitor particularly well-suited for use in dense wavelength-division multiplexed (DWDM) systems includes both a nonlinear optical detector and a conventional linear detector. The nonlinear optical detector, which may comprise a quadratic detector, is used to provide information, on a channel-by-channel basis, regarding chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion and accumulated amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise in each signal wavelength.

摘要： An improved tapered fiber bundle (TFB), or assembly including a TFB, mitigates undesirable reflections from optical discontinuities at the input ends of the multimode fibers of the TFB by suppressing the coupling of signal light into modes that can produce undesired reflections. Means are provided for managing the mode field of injected signal light so that it remains substantially confined to the core of the central TFB fiber until it is past the region where it can interact with the multimode fibers of the TFB.

摘要： An optical monitoring arrangement utilizes the properties of a blazed Bragg grating to redirect a portion of an optical signal out of the axial path and into a detecting device. A plurality of blazed Bragg gratings are utilized, each having unique properties, to increase the robustness of the monitor. In particular, by utilizing a plurality of N gratings, the bandwidth of the monitor may be increased N-fold (assuming no overlap in wavelength between gratings). Alternatively, an improvement in resolution can be obtained by utilizing a narrower bandwidth and measuring N times the number of raw data points within that bandwidth. A combination of increase in bandwidth and resolution may be obtained by a comprise between these two extremes. Chirped blazed gratings may also be employed.
