    摘要: Disclosed is a dispersion controlled optical waveguide fiber, and telecommunication systems using such a waveguide fiber, in which the end to end total dispersion and total dispersion slope is controlled by varying the refractive index profile along the fiber length. The waveguide fiber includes length portions each of which is characterized by total dispersion having a magnitude and sign and total dispersion slope having a magnitude and sign. The magnitudes and signs of total dispersion and total dispersion slope of respective length portions are chosen to provide for the optical waveguide fiber a desired end to end total dispersion and total dispersion slope. An advantage is achieved in the present invention by designing the refractive index profiles of the length portions to have total dispersion and total dispersion slope of opposite sign.

    摘要: An optical fiber having optical characteristics that vary along its length is made by assembling a plurality of cylindrical glass or soot tablets into or along a glass tablet alignment device, then fused into monolithic assembly. If desired, additional glass may be applied to the assembly before or after the fusing step. A vacuum is preferably applied during the fusing step. Each tablet preferably contains a core region, and it optionally contains a layer of cladding glass. Adjacent tablets are capable of forming optical fiber sections having different optical properties. Prior to consolidating the glass particles, chlorine preferably flows through or around the tablets and alignment device. The resultant draw blank can be drawn into a low loss optical fiber having short transition regions between adjacent areas of fiber. This method is particularly useful for making dispersion managed single-mode optical fibers.

    摘要: An interference filter (10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110, 130, 150, or 190) filters selected wavelengths by dividing an input beam into two or more intermediate beams having different optical path lengths and by recombining the intermediate beams into an output beam that is modified by interference between the intermediate beams. An optical path length difference generator (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, or 200) varies the optical path lengths of the intermediate beams by changing the physical lengths of their paths or the refractive indices of the mediums in which they are conveyed. The optical path length generator (20) of one exemplary embodiment (10) includes a spacer plate (20) that is divided into elements (22 and 24) having different refractive indices for varying the optical path lengths of the intermediate beams. Another optical path length difference generator (140) is formed by a stack of partially reflective surfaces (144) that are spaced apart in the direction of beam propagation by at least one nominal wavelength for varying the physical path lengths between the intermediate beams.

    摘要: A novel optical waveguide fiber having low total dispersion slope, relatively large mode field diameter, larger effective area, and a relatively simple core profile design is disclosed. The core refractive index profile comprises three segments. The adjustability of the height, width and location of the three core index profile segments, provides sufficient flexibility to meet a specification which calls for a dispersion shifted waveguide fiber capable of limiting four photon mixing or self phase modulation. The novel waveguide is characterized by a mode field diameter .gtoreq.7.5 microns and a total dispersion slope .ltoreq.0.070 ps/nm.sup.2 -km.

    摘要: The present invention pertains to an asymmetrical bidirectional optical communication system of the type comprising a central station, a plurality of user stations, and a plurality of bidirectional optical transmission paths, one of which connects the central station and one of the user stations. The central station is provided with a laser for initiating in the optical transmission path the propagation at a wavelength in the 1100-1700 nm window of a single-mode signal. Each user station is provided with a light source which initiates in the optical transmission path the propagation at a wavelength in the 700-950 nm window of a few-mode signal. Each optical transmission path comprises an optical fiber having transmission characteristics such that the single-mode signal propagates with a total dispersion less than 5 ps/km-nm and the few mode signal propagates with a bandwidth greater than 1 GHz-km.
