    摘要: Detection of an optical pulse position uses an optical pulse string with a determined repetitive ratio and an electric clock signal with a same frequency as the repetitive ratio of the optical pulse string. A phase of the electric clock signal oscillator is shifted and supplied to an optical modulator. The optical modulator modulates the optical pulse string based on the electric clock signal and outputs a modulated optical signal. A photo detector converts the modulated optical signal output from the optical modulator to an electric signal. The phase shift amount of the electric clock signal is controlled to maximize an output from the photo detector. Additionally, a dither signal may be used in the control of the phase shift, more than the optical modulator may be employed, and/or more than color light source may be employed. The use of at least one of feed forward and feedback control provided by maximizing an output of the photo detector allows an optical pulse having a short width to be realized.

    摘要: An optical amplifying-repeating transmission system is disclosed which is composed of an optical fiber for transmitting a lightwave signal with digital information added to return-to-zero lightwave pulses and a plurality of optical amplifying repeaters inserted in the optical fiber for transmission use. The mean value of wavelengths at which the wavelength dispersion of the optical fiber is zero is smaller than the wavelength of the lightwave signal which is transmitted over the system. The accumulated wavelength dispersion value of the optical fiber tends to increase with the distance of transmission, from a macroscopic viewpoint. The optical fiber for transmission is divided into a plurality of sections. In accordance with the accumulated wavelength dispersion value of the optical fiber in each section except at least the last one, a wavelength dispersion medium, which locally changes the wavelength dispersion in a manner to cancel the accumulated wavelength dispersion in the section at the wavelength of the lightwave signal, is inserted in the section to eliminate the accumulation of the timing jitter.

    摘要: This invention provides an optical amplifier which has low noise characteristics for a wide range of input signal electric power. The optical amplifier has a plurality of cascaded optical amplifying units, a signal level detector, and a pump-source controller. The pump-source controller changes controlling objects from a pump-source corresponding to a first one of the optical amplifying units to a pump-source corresponding to a second one of the optical amplifying units according to a detection level of the signal level detector from a low level to a high level. When the detection level is outside of a control object range, the optical amplifier controls an output from the pump-source to stabilize. When the detection level is within the control object range, the optical amplifier controls an output from a pump-source of each of optical amplifying units according to the detection level.

    摘要: An optical pulse generator, capable of generating ultrashort optical pulses suitable for optical soliton transmission, includes a DFB laser 10 for continuous laser oscillation, an electroabsorbtion modulator 12 for creating a sequence of optical pulses of the pulse width 14.6 ps from optical output of the laser 10. Output from an optical modulator 12 enters into a dispersion decreasing fiber 16 via an optical isolator 14. The dispersion decreasing fiber 16 has chromatic dispersion that decreases from 13.7 ps/nm/km to 2.3 ps/nm/km with distance, and its fiber length is 15 km. Pump laser beams from pump lasers 20, 24 are introduced to the dispersion decreasing fiber 16 by optical couplers 18, 22, and the fiber 16 functions as a Raman amplifier. When the Raman gain is 2.4 dB, the pulse width is compressed from 14.6 ps to 5.8 ps, approximately, even when the power of input pulses to the dispersion decreasing fiber 16 complies with the soliton condition.
