摘要:
An optical communication arrangement (apparatus and method) employing intensity modulation. The parameters of the optical communication system that impose a maximum influence on the modulation distortion are monitored whenever necessary, and the operating parameters of the optical communication system can be corrected in accordance with the parameters being monitored. The system employs the intensity modulation in which a delaying mechanism having a low delay accuracy and a delaying mechanism having a high delay accuracy are provided to completely suppress the modulation distortion.

A method of identifying an aimed coated fiber in an optical transmission network. Identification of the aimed coated fiber in the optical transmission network is accomplished between its upstream and downstream ends during transmission of an optical signal without disrupting the capabilities of an optical communication network or causing deterioration of the optical signal being transmitted.

A optical filter has a loss spectrum whose gradient dL/dλ of a loss L (dB) with respect to the wavelength λ (nm) is variable in the wavelength band of multiplexed signal light. A control circuit detects each power of signal light components demultiplexed by an optical coupler and controls the power of optical pumping light to be supplied to an optical amplification section from an optical pumping light sources such that the power of output signal light has a predetermined target value. The control circuit also controls the gradient dL/dλ of the optical filter on the basis of powers of the signal light components.

A chromatic dispersion compensator includes an optical circulator or a directional coupler having a first, second and third ports; an input transmission path connected to the first port; an output transmission path connected to the third port; a chirped grating connected to the second port; and a dispersion compensating fiber connected to at least one of the first, second and third ports. The dispersion compensating fiber and the chirped grating have chromatic dispersion characteristics which are opposite to the chromatic dispersion characteristics of the input and output transmission paths. In the wavelength compensator, the optical signal is incident into the first port from the input transmission path, and is made to go out to the chirped grating from the second port. Further, the optical signal is incident from the chirped grating to return to the second port, and is made to go to the output transmission path from the third port.

摘要:
This invention relates to an optical fiber amplifier for amplifying and outputting input signal light. The optical fiber amplifier includes first to third amplification optical fibers. The first to third optical fibers are arranged such that the signal light passes through the first to third optical fibers in the order named. A first value as the (emission cross-section)/(absorption cross-section) of the first optical fiber and a third value as the (emission cross-section)/(absorption cross-section) of the third optical fiber are set to be larger than a second value as the (emission cross-section)/(absorption cross-section) of the second optical fiber. With this arrangement, low noise can be achieved in the first optical fiber, and a large output can be achieved in the third optical fiber. In addition, the gain characteristics associated with wavelength in this optical fiber amplifier as the overall transmission line including the first, second, and third amplification optical fibers can be sufficiently flattened.
