    摘要: An optical communication system of a construction wherein the average wavelength dispersion value of the transmission optical fiber used, the optical output intensity of each optical amplifier repeater inserted in the transmission optical fiber and the widths of return-to-zero optical pulses transmitted over the transmission line are determined so as to compensate for the pulse compression effect by the nonlinear optical effect produced on the optical pulses by the pulse spreading effect by the wavelength dispersion effect. An optical multiplexer in the optical transmitting device time-division multiplexes the return-to-zero optical pulses, and the optical multiplexed signal is provided as an alternating-amplitude optical signal with the amplitudes of the return-to-zero optical pulses alternated.

    摘要: An optical modulation device is disclosed in which a difference between the photon energy of incident light and the band-gap energy of the modulation waveguide layer is set to a value greater than 50 meV to thereby suppress the degradation of the modulation voltage and the modulation band width which is caused by an increase in the intensity of incident light and in that the optical modulation device is formed in a predetermined length to thereby decrease the modulation voltage. The energy gap of the optical waveguide layer of the optical modulation device is varied continuously or discontinuously in the direction of its thickness to provide a constant absorption coefficient thickwise of the optical waveguide layer so that the electric field intensity distribution in the optical waveguide layer is compensated for, by which overlap of the light distribution and the absorption coefficient is increased so as to decrease the modulation voltage and broaden the modulation band by the reduction of the length of the device. The composition, thickness and stripe width of the optical waveguide layer are changed so that its absorption coefficient increases from the light receiving end face of the optical waveguide layer toward its light emitting end face, thereby making the number of carriers absorbed per unit length substantially constant in the direction of travel of light.
