    摘要: A laser source supplies a primary laser beam. A phase grating generates two secondary beams from the primary beam so as to form interference fringes that are inscribed in an optical fiber by photo-refraction. An optical system of variable focal length varies the gap between the interference fringes so as to vary the pitch of the Bragg grating discretely for successive segments of the optical fiber. Means displace the primary laser beam and the optical fiber relative to each other by successive segments of said fiber. These means are synchronized with the variation of the focal length of the optical system. Application to telecommunications.

    摘要: A system for writing a Bragg grating point-by-point in an optical waveguide includes an illumination system for producing a primary beam. It further includes a diffraction grating to receive the primary beam and to produce a zero order secondary beam and two symmetrical secondary beams of higher order and a focusing optical device for focusing the secondary beams onto a writing area of the waveguide. The diffraction grating and the focusing optical device define an intensity function of writing in the area of the guide including a central peak and two secondary peaks spaced from the central peak by a distance equal to the pitch of the grating.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a multi-core optical fiber, the method including assembling together a plurality of substantially identical single-core optical fiber preforms (2', 2"), referred to as "single-core preforms", each of which includes a core bar (3) surrounded by a layer of optical cladding (4), so as to form a "multi-core preform" (10) and drawing down the multi-core preform (10) so as to obtain the multi-core optical fiber. The assembly step includes securing the single-core preforms (2', 2") to one another by fusing them over their entire lengths or over portions thereof along their tangential lines of contact (T), without inserting the multi-core preform (10) into a holding tube. A vacuum is maintained in the preform during the drawing step, the vacuum being formed before or during the drawing step.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser (2) constitutes a monolithic source whose intensity is modulated at a frequency lying in the microwave frequency range, typically 10-20 GHz to 100 GHz. It is based on coupling between the longitudinal modes of the laser, with intensity modulation being given by beats between the various modes of the laser. Optimization and control of the laser are made possible by splitting the optical cavity (6, 8, 10) of the laser into successive sections (20, 22, 24). The invention is particularly suitable for telecommunications applications.

    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.
