    摘要: In a fiber optic link signal or pump sending power limitations due to stimulated Raman scattering are pushed back by using attenuation in the Raman gain region. Various techniques are proposed for limiting stimulated Raman scattering. In particular, the use of optical fiber lightly doped with dysprosium, the attenuation of which increases rapidly beyond 1 500 nm, is proposed. The use of this fiber to transport pump power at 1 480 nm towards remote amplifiers would enable injection of pump power up to an order of magnitude of 10 W, whereas the limit is currently 1.3 W. This technique would enable the range of links to be increased approximately 80 km.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system for injecting into a fiber signals from multiple sources at different wavelengths. The signals from each source are injected into the fiber by a circulator. The circulators of the various sources are cascaded. Reflector means for reflecting signals from sources previously injected are provided between each source and its circulator. The invention is used to inject signals from multiple sources without the injection of signals from one source attenuating signals from sources previously injected. It applies in particular to Raman amplification, for which purpose it provides a multiband source without attenuation between bands. Multiband amplifications is achieved without loss of gain between bands.

    摘要: In a fiber optic transmission system comprising line fiber and a pump for distributed amplification in the line fiber by stimulated Raman scattering, the line fiber comprises multiple sections and the nature of the fibers in each section and the length of each section are chosen so that the Raman gain is lower than the Rayleigh backscattering coefficient at all points of the system. This avoids the limitations that are experienced if the Raman gain is greater than the Rayleigh backscattering coefficient.
