    摘要: Techniques are described for constructing an optical fiber transmission line having a desired length and path-average dispersion, while also having a desired total ∂ D ∂ λ . In one approach, a first fiber is selected with a first dispersion and ∂ D ∂ λ , and a second fiber is selected with a second dispersion and ∂ D ∂ λ having a sign opposite to that of the dispersion and ∂ D ∂ λ of the first fiber. A third fiber is then selected having a third dispersion and ∂ D ∂ λ such that when a combined transmission line having a desired total length and path-average dispersion is assembled from the first, second, and third fibers, the total ∂ D ∂ λ of the transmission line may be adjusted by adjusting the respective lengths of the first, second, and third fibers, while maintaining the desired total length and path-average dispersion {overscore (D)} of the transmission line. The dispersion maps of the first, second, and third fibers are used to calculate the respective lengths of the three fibers needed to assemble a transmission line having the desired total length, path-average dispersion {overscore (D)}, and ∂ D ∂ λ .

    摘要: In one embodiment of the invention a dispersion compensator is provided for use in a dense wavelength division multiplexed optical communication system. The dispersion compensator comprises a periodic-group-delay dispersion compensation module which provides a portion of the dispersion compensation for a dispersion managed span of the optical communication system. A remaining portion of the dispersion compensation for the dispersion managed span is provided by dispersion compensating fiber. The portions of the dispersion compensation provided by each of the periodic-group-delay dispersion compensation module and the dispersion compensating fiber is selected such that the collision-induced timing jitter is reduced.

    摘要: A system and method in which the chromatic dispersion characteristic, as a function of distance along a section of transmissive fiber, is measured. First and second optical signals are launched into a fiber under test to thereby generate, by a four-wave mixing process in the fiber, a probe signal. Because of a wave-vector phase mismatch, the probe signal power oscillates with a spatial frequency that can be measured as a function of distance in the fiber. The intensity oscillations are measurable as, for example, temporal variations in the Rayleigh backscattered light detected at the input end of the fiber. According to the present invention, the dispersion parameter at one or both of the first and second optical signal wavelengths, as a function of length along the fiber, is derived directly from these intensity oscillation measurements. From this information, it is possible to further derive maps at other wavelengths of interest.

    摘要: An improved optical loop mirror is used in an optical demultiplexer to demultiplex time division multiplexed optical communications channels. High bit-rate optical pulses representing a plurality of time division multiplexed communications channels are input to a 3 dB coupler in an optical loop mirror. The coupler separates the high bit-rate optical pulses into two substantially equal high bit-rate pulse streams propagating in opposite directions around a loop of fiber in the mirror. Lower bit-rate optical switching pulses are injected into the loop so as to substantially coincide with selected pulses in the high bit-rate pulse stream corresponding to a communications channel to be demultiplexed from the plurality of multiplexed communications channels. A gain controlling element, such as an amplifier or a lossy element, in the loop changes the amplitude of one of the two high bit-rate pulse streams flowing in the loop so that the selectivity of the demultiplexer to the desired channel and the rejection of unwanted channels by the demultiplexer is enhanced.

    摘要: Fiber optic cable waste is avoided by measuring amplitude oscillations of four-wave mixing products in positive-dispersion and negative-dispersion fiber optic cable to determine the lengths of a first, positive-dispersion cable segment and a second, negative-dispersion cable segment that are used to provide a specified length of fiber optic cable having a specified amount of path-average chromatic dispersion. The integrated dispersion of a positive-dispersion fiber optic cable as a function of length is measured to provide a first set of data, and the integrated dispersion of a negative-dispersion fiber optic cable as a function of length is measured to provide a second set of data. A fiber-optic cable is simultaneously fed with two optical signals, a first at wavelength .lambda..sub.1 and a second at wavelength .lambda..sub.2, and the number of sinusoidal oscillations that occur in the four-wave mixing products of the Stokes (or anti-Stokes) sideband as a function of cable length are measured. The second set of data is reflected about a line representing zero length, linearly translated by the specified length along a length axis, and then linearly translated by the specified dispersion along an integrated dispersion axis to provide a transformed second set of data. A point of intersection of the first set of data with the transformed second set of data is calculated. A length coordinate of this point of intersection represents the length of the first cable segment. A length for the second cable segment is calculated by subtracting the length of the first cable segment from the specified length.

    摘要: Apparatus for piecewise generation of grating-like patterns in photoresponsive material with a coherent the class which splits the coherent beam into two component beams. The two component beams intersect forming a parallel plane interference pattern on a section of the photoresponsive material. An arrangement which translates the beam parallel to itself forms the interference pattern in registration with the previously generated pattern on a different section of the photoresponsive material.
