    摘要: The object of the invention enables wavelength division multiplexed solitons conveyed by an optical fiber to be regenerated synchronously. The method uses clock recovery from the WDM signal, and synchronous modulation of the solitons at the clock rate recovered in this way. The locations for the optical modulators are selected to be at a distance between the transmitter and the first modulator or between successive modulators along the optical link such that the signals at different wavelengths are synchronous. The apparatus of the invention regenerates solitons in-line by synchronously modulating said solitons using an optical modulator, clock recovery, and multichannel filtering at the output from the modulator. In a particular embodiment, the telecommunications system of the invention also includes fiber lengths having different dispersion relationships depending on their position within the link, so as to achieve "dispersion management" within the link. The invention is applicable to optical telecommunications over great distances by means of solitons.

    摘要: The invention relates to wavelength division multiplex fiber optic transmission systems. It proposes a regenerator including a demultiplexer for separating the signals of various channels, a plurality of optical modulators each receiving signals from the demultiplexer and a modulation clock from a clock distribution unit, and a multiplexer combining the signals modulated by the modulators. The clock distribution unit includes a reference clock and, for each modulator, means for synchronizing the phase of a copy of the reference clock with the signals applied to the modulator. A phase-locked loop can be used for phase synchronization, with a phase shifter controlled in accordance with the average power of the signals at the output of the modulator. The invention enables only low-frequency components to be used to generate modulation clocks from a single reference clock.

    摘要: The invention concerns a wavelength-division multiplex soliton signal fiber optic transmission system; to reduce the effects of collision jitter on the soliton channels, it proposes quasi-distributed amplification combining lumped amplification and distributed amplification. In this way it is possible to combine pumping of a lightly doped line fiber an dumped amplification by an EDFA in the repeaters. Reduncant and common pumping means are advantageously used for the lumped amplification and the distributed amplification and the gain of the lumped amplification is advantageously controlled automatically.

    摘要: A synchronous optical regenerator applies intensity modulation and phase modulation. The phase modulation is effected after the intensity modulation by the crossed Kerr effect in a Kerr fiber. The clock used for the phase modulation is obtained by injecting a continuous wavelength into the intensity modulator. The regenerator therefore includes a multiplexer coupling continuous light with the signals transmitted, an intensity modulator modulating the signals transmitted and the continuous light, and a Kerr fiber phase modulating the transmitted signals by crossed phase modulation with the intensity-modulated continuous light. Applications include wavelength division multiplex transmission systems.

    摘要: An optical fiber transmission system for soliton signals with wavelength multiplexing in which the bit times of the various channels &lgr;1 to &lgr;n of the multiplex are substantially synchronous, at least at one point. At least one saturable absorber is located at this point. The channels can be made synchronous by an appropriate selection of wavelengths, or by using optical delay lines, or the like. The saturable absorber then modulates the intensity of the soliton signals in the various channels of the multiplex. It is possible to use a clock for remotely driving the saturable absorber. The invention also relates to a corresponding transmission method. The invention makes it possible to transmit over long distances without using active components.
