摘要:
An optical signal, which is to become the subject of dispersion compensation, is split by optical combining/splitting unit 2, and each frequency component of the optical signal that is split is reflected by the corresponding reflective mirror 30 included in reflective mirror group 3 to apply a predetermined phase shift to the respective frequency components Each reflected frequency component is then combined using optical combining/splitting unit 2, to give dispersion compensated optical signal Furthermore, in regards to reflective mirror group 3, which is used to apply phase shift to each frequency component of an optical signal, each of the respective plurality of reflective mirrors 30 is made a movable mirror having a movable reflection position that reflects the frequency components. Through this, dispersion that develops in an optical signal may be compensated with favorable controllability and high accuracy. Therefore, the precision and controllability of dispersion compensation will become superior, and realized is a variable dispersion compensator having a miniaturized optical circuit, and an optical transmission system comprising such variable dispersion compensator,

The present invention relates to an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer. In the multiplexer/demultiplexer, a first grating receives to diffract a multi-wavelength light signal from a first port into light signals with different wavelengths. A second grating diffracts these light signals towards second ports. The second grating is disposed parallel with the first grating. The second grating has the same grating interval and grating direction as the first grating. The light signals diffracted by the second grating travel parallel with each other. Therefore, the light signals can efficiently enter the second ports without sophisticated lens design and adjustment of the optical system.

This invention relates to a diffraction grating device having a refractive index modulation formed in an optical waveguide region in a predetermined region in the longitudinal direction of the optical waveguide. In the diffraction grating device, a refractive index modulation is formed in the core region in a predetermined region in the longitudinal direction of the optical waveguide. In this diffraction grating device, the optical period of the refractive index modulation is substantially constant, the phase of the refractive index modulation is inverted at a phase inversion portion, and the number of phase inversion portions is one or two. In this diffraction grating device, the absolute value of a parameter R (equation (22a)) is smaller than 0.25. According to this invention, a diffraction grating device capable of shortening the region where the refractive index modulation is formed and flattening the reflectance characteristic in the reflection wavelength band is provided.

A diffraction grating portion (12) is formed in an optical fiber (10), having a diameter of 125 .mu.m and serving to transmit light, along its optical axis. The optical fiber is concentrically surrounded by a lower coating portion (14) having an outer diameter of 300 .mu.m and consisting of a silicone resin. The lower coating portion is concentrically surrounded by a coating portion (16) having an outer diameter of 900 .mu.m and consisting of a liquid crystal polymer, e.g., polyester amide. The coating portion is further surrounded by an outermost coating portion (18) having an outer diameter of 1 mm and consisting of a UV curing resin colored for identification. Both the optical fiber (10) and the lower coating portion (14) have positive thermal expansion coefficients. In contrast to this, the coating portion (16) consisting of the liquid crystal polymer has a negative thermal expansion coefficient.

An optical filter has a first long-period grating and a second long-period grating formed in a unitary optical fiber. A difference is not less than 100 nm between a wavelength at which optical coupling is maximum between core-mode light and cladding-mode light of a predetermined mode number in the first long-period grating and a wavelength at which optical coupling is maximum between core-mode light and cladding-mode light of the same mode number as the cladding-mode light of the predetermined mode number, in the second long-period grating. This optical filter can be constructed in compact size and can readily implement a desired transmission characteristic.
