    Abstract: An optical fiber transmission system includes a series of optical fiber transmission spans and one or more all-optical signal processors. The optical fiber transmission spans are connected to form an optical communication path. Each all-optical signal processor directly connects a corresponding adjacent pair of the spans. Each all-optical signal processor includes an optical wavelength converter having input and output ports and a dispersion adjustment module connected to the input port of the optical wavelength converter of the same processor. The dispersion module is also configured to adjust cumulative dispersions of some received optical pulses to be outside of a range for the cumulative dispersions of corresponding optical pulses in the span directly preceding the same processor.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an optical wavelength-converter and a polarization splitter. The polarization splitter is configured to receive input and pump light, to direct a first polarization component of the received input and pump light to a first optical path, and to direct a second polarization component of the received input and pump light to a separate second optical path. The optical wavelength-converter has first and second optical ports. The first optical port is at an end of the first optical path. The second port is at an end of the second optical path. The wavelength-converter outputs wavelength-converted light from one of the ports in response to receiving the input and pump light at the other of the ports. The two optical paths may include polarization-maintaining optical waveguides. The polarization splitter and optical paths may be configured to transmit substantially the same pump light intensity to the two optical ports.

    Abstract: An optical transmitter includes a modulator, a dispersion adjustment module, and an optical amplifier. The optical transmitter is configured to transmit optical pulses over a free-space optical communication channel. The modulator is configured to produce an optical carrier that is amplitude and/or phase modulated by data. The dispersion adjustment module is connected between the modulator and the amplifier and is configured to substantially change temporal widths of optical pulses received from the modulator by changing dispersions of the received optical pulses.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a non-solitonic all-optical communication path having serially connected first and second segments. The first segment end-couples to a lumped optical transmitter. The second segment end-couples to a lumped optical receiver. Each segment has a series of spans of transmission optical fibers. The all-optical communication path has an optical phase conjugator that optically end-couples the first segment to the second segment. The optical phase conjugator is positioned away from the path's midpoint.

    Abstract: A polarization-diverse optical amplifier includes a polarization-sensitive optically active medium and a polarization splitter. The polarization splitter is configured to receive input light, to direct a first polarization component of the received input light to a first optical path segment, and to direct a second polarization component of the received input light to a separate second optical path segment. The active medium has first and second optical ports. The first optical port is at an end of the first optical path segment. The second port is at an end of the second optical path segment. The active medium outputs amplified light from one of the ports in response to receiving the input light at the other of the ports. In a preferred embodiment, the active medium has an internal optical axis, and the polarizations of the first and second components are oriented relative to that axis so that amplification is enhanced. The two optical path segments may include polarization-maintaining optical waveguides.
