摘要： An optical fiber (12a) with a large effective core area and a large chromatic dispersion value is disposed on an input side of signal light, and an optical fiber (12b) with a small effective core area and a small chromatic dispersion value or a chromatic dispersion value of negative polarity is disposed on an output side of the signal light. A pumping light source (14) generates pumping light of 1450 nm to cause Raman amplification of 1550 nm in the optical fiber (12b). The output light from the pumping light source (14) enters the optical fiber (12b) from the back through a WDM optical coupler (16). Provided that y=(Pin−&agr;)/(Pp·10 Log L) where input power of the optical fiber (12a) (i.e. output power of an optical transmitter (10)) is Pin, a total loss of the optical fibers (12a and 12b) is &agr;, pumping power for Raman amplification is Pp, and a total length of the optical fibers (12a and 12b) is L, the relation between ratio x (0≦x≦1) of the optical fiber (12b) and y is expressed as y=6.63×10−2x−0.077. Here, the satisfactory x value is in a range from +0.2 to −0.2 of the y value.

摘要： An object of the present invention is to prevent an increase of the degree of polarization of an output pumping light even if one of pumping light sources has a failure. Laser diodes (30a, 30b) are composed of FP-LDs made of InGaAsP to laser-oscillate at 1480 nm band. The outputs from the laser diodes (30a, 30b) enter a polarizing beam splitter (32) in orthogonal state of polarization and are combined there. The combined light by the polarizing beam splitter (32) enters a depolarizing element (34) and is depolarized there.

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 transmitter which reverses the ON-OFF state of the optical intensity of a bright soliton lightwave and generates a dark soliton lightwave having an optical phase shift, an optical receiver for the dark soliton lightwave, and a superfast, high-capacity optical transmission system which is capable of increasing the soliton pulse array density while suppressing timing jitter. The optical transmission system is provided with the optical transmitter which transmits a dark soliton lightwave having digital information, the optical receiver which receives the dark soliton lightwave as a return-to-zero pulse and a transmission optical fiber interconnecting the transmitter and the receiver. The system has a construction in which the transmission optical fiber has, at the wavelength of the transmission lightwave, a normal dispersion value which makes negative the average wavelength dispersion value over the entire length of the optical fiber, and the average value of the wavelength dispersion value and the optical output intensity of the transmission optical fiber have values so that a non-linear optical effect and a wavelength dispersion effect, which are exerted on the transmission lightwave, are balanced with each other.

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： An object of the present invention is to realize almost the same transmission characteristic in all wavelengths at a transmission rate of 10 Gb/s or more. An optical transmitter 10 outputs WDM signal light multiplexed with signal light of a plurality of wavelengths toward an optical transmission line 12. The optical transmission line 12 comprises an optical transmission fiber 14, an optical repeating amplifier 16 and a dispersion compensating fiber 18. The gain characteristic of the optical repeating amplifier 16 is set so that the gain becomes the maximum at the effective zero dispersion wavelength of the optical transmission line 12 and that lowers inversely proportional to the distance from the effective zero dispersion wavelength. The whole optical transmission line 12 is set so that the peak power deviation between the effective zero dispersion wavelength &lgr;0 and the wavelength &lgr;1 or &lgr;n on both end becomes approximately 4 dB.
