    摘要: By using a polarization controller, a semiconductor laser apparatus oscillating in the transverse magnetic mode in mode-locked state is realized, and a short optical pulse is generated. By coupling this mode-locked semiconductor laser to a wavelength conversion element, a second harmonic wave is generated, and an even shorter optical pulse is obtained at a higher power.

    摘要: In an optical transmission system for transmitting a video signal by transmitting a laser light modulated with a video signal, through an optical fiber; and for receiving and photoelectrically converting the received laser light, a pilot signal is added to the video signal by a summing amplifier. A frequency of the pilot signal is smaller than a band width of the laser light, so that peak level of interference noise developed by multi-reflection at both ends of the optical fiber is decreased considerably. Moreover, in an optical transmission system for transmitting and receiving a video signal by modulating a laser light with the video signal through an optical fiber; and for receiving and photoelectrically converting the received laser light, a polarizing control element is provided in the optical fiber by coiling the optical fiber, so that a signal laser light transmitted without multi-reflection has different retardation from a signal laser light with multi-reflection, so that interference noise is reduced. Similarly, an optical fiber amplifier also employs the polarizing control element to reduce the adverse effect caused by the interference noise.

    摘要: An analog transmission system for transmitting a multi-channel analog signal including plural carrier signals having different frequencies, comprises: a laser unit responsive to the multi-channel analog signal for emitting laser light signal intensity-modulated by the multi-channel analog signal, the laser unit having an oscillation wavelength W1; an optical fiber amplifier for amplifying the laser light signal with a peak gain at a wavelength W2; an optical fiber for transmitting the amplified laser light; and an optical receiver for receiving the transmitted laser light and for converting the received laser light into an electric signal as an output. In this system, a total distortion characteristic of the laser unit is compensated by distortions developed in the optical fiber amplifier.

    摘要: The effective rate of deactivation from the terminal state to the ground state of a rare earth ion doped optical material in a four-level amplifying or lasing scheme may be increased greatly by doping the optical material with two rare earth ions, an activator and a deactivator. Energy transfer occurs between the terminal state in the activator ion and the deactivator ion. The transition from the deactivator to the ground state occurs via phonon emission. By increasing the deactivation rate, the efficiency of the laser and the amplifier is increased.
