    摘要: A method of compensating for chromatic dispersion in an optical signal transmitted on a long-haul terrestrial optical communication system including a plurality of spans, including: allowing chromatic dispersion to accumulate over at least one of the spans to a first predetermined level; and compensating for the first pre-determined level of dispersion using a dispersion compensating fiber causing accumulation of dispersion to a second predetermined level. There is also provided a hybrid Raman/EDFA amplifier including a Raman portion and an EDFA portion with a dispersion compensating fiber disposed therebetween. An optical communication system and a method of communicating an optical signal using such a Raman/EDFA amplifier are also provided.

    摘要: A system, amplifier and method are provided for amplifying an optical signal in an optical communications system where spans between amplifiers may vary. The system includes a Raman amplifier variable gain portion and an EDFA gain portion. The amount of Raman amplifier gain is chosen to trade off accumulation of noise with accumulation of multi-path interference. This variable Raman gain is used to equalize the loss of each span so that the amount of optical power supplied at the input of the EDFA gain portion is substantially constant throughout the system.

    摘要: Dispersion may be managed in a branched optical network by using transmission segments having a single period segment dispersion map. One or more of such segments may be coupled to network nodes such as terminals or branching units such that dispersion may be managed even when the network is reconfigured. In one embodiment, a single period segment dispersion map provides dispersion compensation at the ends of the segment. In another embodiment, a single period segment dispersion-map provides dispersion compensation at the middle of the segment.

    摘要: A WDM optical communication system is provided that includes a transmitter and a receiver. An optical fiber transmission path couples the transmitter to the receiver. The transmission path includes at least one repeater having an optical amplifier located therein. A dispersion compensator is disposed at an intermediate point along the transmission path. The intermediate point is located outside of the repeater. The compensator includes a wavelength routing device for dividing a signal having a prescribed bandwidth into a plurality of distinct sub-bands. A plurality of output paths is provided for respectively receiving the plurality of distinct sub-bands. The dispersion compensator also includes a dispersion compensating optical element coupled to each of the output paths. Each dispersion compensating optical element substantially compensates for dispersion at a prescribed wavelength within the bandpass of its respective sub-band. A coupler recombining the distinct sub-bands and couples them back onto the optical fiber transmission path.
