    摘要: The invention features an optical two-way transmission-receiver communications system utilizing a coaxial coupler having a ring waveguide and a core waveguide. A surface of an integrated source/ring detector substrate is positioned adjacent said coaxial coupler endface. A ring detector on the substrate, which receives light transmissions from the ring waveguide, has an annular opening therein. A light source disposed on the substrate within the annular opening in the ring detector directs light transmissions to the core waveguide of the coaxial coupler. An alignment device positions the substrate with respect to the coaxial coupler so that the light source and detector are respectively aligned with the coaxial coupler core and ring waveguides.

    摘要: A dispersion compensating module, mode converter, coupler and dispersion compensated optical fiber therein. The dispersion compensating fiber has a plurality of core segments, the refractive index profile being selected to exhibit properties such that an LP02 mode at 1550 nm may be propagated a distance (generally 0.5-3.0 km), upon conversion to LP02, to compensate for dispersion of a length of transmission waveguide preferably greater than 25 km propagating in an LP01 mode. In another embodiment, the dispersion compensating module has a mode converter having a reflective fiber grating for converting a first to a second mode interconnected to a dispersion compensated fiber propagating in the second mode. The mode converter has a coupler adapted to operatively couple light propagating in a first mode from a first fiber into a second, and a reflective fiber grating operatively coupled to the second fiber; the grating being capable of converting light from the first into the second mode. According to another embodiment, an optical fiber coupler is provided having a first fiber with a first propagation constant in a first mode, and a second fiber within the coupler having a second propagation constant, the second fiber including a necked-down portion which is formed prior to fusion of the fibers, the necked-down portion being formed such that the local propagation constant of the second fiber substantially matches the first propagation constant thereby enhancing first mode coupling.

    摘要: A wavelength division demultiplexer includes a channel dropping component for receiving optical signals transmitted through a plurality of optical channels, defined by successively different light wavelength bands at intervals ranging between a first channel having the lowest wavelength band to a last channel having the highest wavelength band. The channel dropping component separates at least one channel having a wavelength band intermediate the lowest wavelength band and the highest wavelength band. The demultiplexer further includes an edge filter for separating optical signals received from the channel dropping component that have wavelengths below the intermediate wavelength band from optical signals having wavelengths above the intermediate wavelength band. The separated optical signals are transmitted from the edge filter in two different optical paths. The demultiplexer further includes a channel separator for separating optical signals transmitted in at least one of the optical paths from one another.
