    摘要: Optical amplifiers are provided in which optical gain is produced by Raman pumping fiber. The Raman-pumped fiber may be a span of transmission fiber or a coil of fiber in a discrete amplifier. Raman pump light may be provided using laser diodes operating at different wavelengths. The Raman pump light that is produced by the laser diodes may be modulated to reduce pump interactions in the fiber. Raman pump light may be modulated by directly modulating the laser diodes or by using optical components that modulate constant power pump light from the laser diodes.

    摘要: Optical channel monitor depolarizers are provided. The depolarizers may be used to reduce the effects of polarization-dependent loss on optical channel power measurements made in optical amplifiers or other optical network equipment. The channel power measurements may be used in controlling optical amplifiers and other equipment in wavelength-division-multiplexing communications links.

    摘要: An endoscope for image acquisition via illumination of an object's image, such as but not limited to a bar code, by a set of spatially resolved patterns, with subsequent reconstruction of the image without detailed spatial resolution. A device to stabilize the prescribed set of illuminating patterns against bending of the fiber is also disclosed, which consists of the auxiliary pre-bent part of the fiber and the work part of the fiber, subject to the inevitable bends with or without additional compensation. The distorting influence of the bending of the work part is compensated by the controllable loosening of the pre-bent part of the fiber. Encoding of the pixels of the image or of the illumination patterns encodes the intensity of each pixel to the excitation intensity of the corresponding mode. Such encoding is stable to the bending of the guide. Special transverse profiles of the properties of the waveguide include a rectangular, triangular and hexagonal cross-sectional shaped waveguides, which allow the pixel-to-mode encoding via direct viewing from the open end of the guide.

    摘要: Raman fiber amplifiers are provided in which multiple pump wavelengths are used. A Raman fiber amplifier may be used to amplify optical signal channels over a range of wavelengths. Some of the pump wavelengths may be selected to create Raman gain in this range. Other pump wavelengths may be selected to create Raman loss in this range. Different pump powers may be used at each pump wavelength.
