摘要： A planar waveguide-type optical amplifier switch is disclosed. The switch is developed with the purpose of solving the problems that the conventional waveguide-type optical switch, which has been being used in the optical communication technique, has an optical loss and thereby requires an external optical amplifier which makes the whole devices not suitable for forming an integrated compact device. The disclosed switch performs switching function from the refractive index change in the optical waveguides induced by electrical or optical controls as well as amplifying function of the optical signal, when it passes through the waveguides, from use of optical waveguides formed of a fluorescence emitting material with an optical pumping and a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical waveguide-type coupler. The optical amplifier switch scheme, which provides a simultaneous optical switching and amplification in an optical waveguide form, allows the device fabricable in a compact integrated manner and more useful in practical applications. The optical amplifier switch in accordance with the present invention can replace the conventional optical switches of the prior art, and can promote technical development in the areas of high-capacity optical communication systems, massive optical signal processing, optical switching, optical computing, and so on.

摘要： An optical fiber cascaded Raman laser scheme is provided. An optical fiber cascaded Raman laser scheme in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a pump light source, an optical fiber, a wavelength division multiplexing optical fiber combiner, another wavelength division multiplexing optical fiber combiner, a short period optical fiber bragg grating, a long period bragg grating, first means, and second means. The pump light source generates pump light. The optical fiber causes Raman scattering regarding the optical pump light as nonlinear material. The wavelength division multiplexing optical fiber combiner forms intra cavity regarding light of second order stoke frequency shifted wavelength. The light is stoke frequency shifted by Raman scattering of the optical fiber. The another wavelength division multiplexing optical fiber combiner forms intra cavity regarding light of first and third order stoke frequency shifted wavelength. The light is stoke frequency shifted by Raman scattering of the optical fiber. The short period optical fiber bragg grating selects and reflects fourth stoke frequency shifted wavelength of output wavelength in intra cavity. The intra cavity is formed by the wavelength division multiplexing optical fiber combiner. The long period bragg grating causes loss on fifth order stoke frequency shifted wavelength and prevents oscillation. The fifth order is next order of output wavelength of the intra cavity. The first means passes pump light emitted from the pump light source and reflects light of fourth order stoke frequency shifted output wavelength. The first means is connected between the pump light source and the wavelength division multiplexing optical fiber combiner. The second means reflects pump light emitted from the pump light source and passing light of output wavelength.
