    摘要: An optical amplifying-repeating transmission system is disclosed which is composed of an optical fiber for transmitting a lightwave signal with digital information added to return-to-zero lightwave pulses and a plurality of optical amplifying repeaters inserted in the optical fiber for transmission use. The mean value of wavelengths at which the wavelength dispersion of the optical fiber is zero is smaller than the wavelength of the lightwave signal which is transmitted over the system. The accumulated wavelength dispersion value of the optical fiber tends to increase with the distance of transmission, from a macroscopic viewpoint. The optical fiber for transmission is divided into a plurality of sections. In accordance with the accumulated wavelength dispersion value of the optical fiber in each section except at least the last one, a wavelength dispersion medium, which locally changes the wavelength dispersion in a manner to cancel the accumulated wavelength dispersion in the section at the wavelength of the lightwave signal, is inserted in the section to eliminate the accumulation of the timing jitter.

    摘要: An optical pulse generator, capable of generating ultrashort optical pulses suitable for optical soliton transmission, includes a DFB laser 10 for continuous laser oscillation, an electroabsorbtion modulator 12 for creating a sequence of optical pulses of the pulse width 14.6 ps from optical output of the laser 10. Output from an optical modulator 12 enters into a dispersion decreasing fiber 16 via an optical isolator 14. The dispersion decreasing fiber 16 has chromatic dispersion that decreases from 13.7 ps/nm/km to 2.3 ps/nm/km with distance, and its fiber length is 15 km. Pump laser beams from pump lasers 20, 24 are introduced to the dispersion decreasing fiber 16 by optical couplers 18, 22, and the fiber 16 functions as a Raman amplifier. When the Raman gain is 2.4 dB, the pulse width is compressed from 14.6 ps to 5.8 ps, approximately, even when the power of input pulses to the dispersion decreasing fiber 16 complies with the soliton condition.

    摘要: Incident light 1 is inputted to an electro-absorption-type optical modulator 4 via an optical circulator 2 and a lens 3, and subjected to intensity modulation that corresponds to a modulation signal 8. The optical signal outputted by the electro-absorption-type optical modulator 4 is inputted to a Faraday rotator 6 via a lens 5, and the plane of polarization is rotated 45.degree.. The optical signal transmitted by the Faraday rotator 6 is totally reflected by a totally reflecting mirror 7, inputted for the second time to the Faraday rotator 6, then passed through the lens 5 after the plane of polarization has been rotated 45.degree. by this Faraday rotator 6, and readmitted by the electro-absorption-type optical modulator 4. The output of the electro-absorption-type optical modulator 4 is emitted via the lens 3 and the optical circulator 2. The polarization dependence of insertion loss can be eliminated because the plane of polarization is rotated 90.degree., and the incident light 1 readmitted to the electro-absorption-type optical modulator 4 at any plane of polarization. In view of this, the polarization dependent loss of an electro-absorption-type optical modulator can be eliminated by employing such optical modulators and creating a high-performance optical short pulse generating device, optical waveform shaping device, and optical demultiplexer.
