    摘要: Wavelength multiplexed optical signals which are input into a first optical amplifier from an optical transmission terminal device over an optical fiber are differently amplified in respective wavelengths due to unevenness of gain of the optical amplifiers and then output. By providing M-transmission optical filters having an M-type transmission characteristic to cancel gain deviation of the optical amplifiers in respective wavelengths, a flat gain characteristic can be achieved even after the optical signals are transmitted via a plurality of optical amplifiers and a plurality of M-transmission optical filters. Also, by removing ASE in a wavelength range of 1.53 .mu.m which prevents signal amplification in a wavelength range of 1.55 .mu.m, the wavelength multiplexed optical signals which are sufficiently amplified can be transmitted to an optical reception terminal device over the optical fiber.

    摘要: The present invention is directed towards an optical ADM apparatus provided with a narrow band-pass filter which is capable of minimizing declination of the transmission characteristics. An optical transmission prohibiting element composed of an optical isolator and a fiber grating is connected in series to the downstream of a fiber grating interposed between two optical circulators. The drop light is reflected by the fiber grating and released from an output optical fiber of the optical circulator. A leak component of the drop light having passed through the fiber grating appears on the side of the isolator and runs across the isolator to the other fiber grating. Most of the leak component is however reflected by the fiber grating while its small portion enters the optical circulator via the fiber grating. The small portion of the leak component is as small as negligible and will hardly interfere with the add light. The optical transmission prohibiting element may be an optical circulator.

    摘要: An optical add/drop multiplexing scheme capable of reducing the degradation of the transmission characteristic due to the beat noises caused by the interference of the fiber grating leakage components. An optical add/drop multiplexing device is formed by a high speed polarization scrambler for entering signal lights with a data modulation at a high speed bit rate applied thereto, and scrambling polarization states of entered signal lights at high speed, and an optical add/drop element for receiving the signal lights with the polarization states scrambled by the high speed polarization scrambler, and carrying out an add/drop multiplexing operation for signal lights in a specific wavelength among received signal lights. The high speed polarization scrambler scrambles the polarization states of the entered signal lights so as to lower a probability for having worst polarization states of signal lights and interference lights, by scrambling the polarization states of the entered signal lights into every possible polarization states at nearly equal probabilities.

    摘要: The present invention provides a wavelength division multiplexed optical fiber transmission equipment which can increase the number of channels of the WDM signal by reducing a required bandwidth of optical signals while suppressing an interference between signals caused by four-wave mixing. A WDM optical transmitting terminal comprises five or more optical transmitters and the wavelengths of optical signals from the optical transmitters are set such that the spacing between the wavelengths of two signals is re-used as the spacing between the wavelengths of other two signals separated by the above signals by two or more waves and there is no periodicity in the channel spacing s. For instance, the wavelengths of the optical signals are set as shown in FIG. 1. As the result, deterioration in the transmission characteristics of the optical signals can be effectively reduced and, at the same time, the maximum number of channels of the WDM signal can be increased. To the WDM optical transmitting terminal is added polarization state controllers for controlling the state of polarization such that the states of polarizations of adjacent signals cross each other at an output of the WDM optical transmitting terminal.

    摘要: It is the object of the present invention to optimize the degradation due to the four-wave mixing of wavelength multiplexed signals and the distortion due to the chromatic dispersion, thereby to provide a wavelength division multiplexed optical fiber transmission equipment having good transmission characteristics. A WDM transmitting terminal consists of four transmitters of channels 1 to 4, and a wavelength-division multiplexer. Further, a WDM receiving terminal consists of an equalization optical fiber, a wavelength-division demultiplexer, and four receivers of the channels 1 to 4. The WDM transmitting terminal and the WDM receiving terminal are interconnected by transmission optical fibers and an optical amplifier. The equipment is designed so that the wavelengths .lambda..sub.1, .lambda..sub.2, .lambda..sub.3 and .lambda..sub.4 of the optical signals output from the transmitters all lie on the short-wavelength side with respect to the average zero-dispersion wavelength .lambda..sub.0. This allows the distortion due to the four-wave mixing of a wavelength multiplexed signal to be reduced. The equalization optical fiber has a chromatic dispersion of a sign opposite to the chromatic dispersion of the optical fibers forming a transmitting path, thereby for compensating the chromatic dispersion of the optical signals output from the transmitters.

    摘要: A wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication method and apparatus uses a pre-emphasis technique to adjust the attenuation or amplification of a particular optical channel at a transmitter terminal to produce identical signal-to-noise ratios for all of the optical channels at a receiver terminal. The pre-emphasis adjustments to the transmitted signals are made on the basis of signal-to-noise ratio measurements performed at the receiver terminal. The signal-to-noise ratio values for each channel are transmitted through a facing line that is also used to transmit data along optical communication lines from the receiver terminal back to the transmitter terminal. The present invention also provides a method and apparatus for monitoring optical transmission paths for the deterioration of optical amplifier repeaters or an optical fiber. The optical signals are then adjusted to account for the location of the particular amplifier or fiber that has deteriorated.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide an optical add-drop multiplexer capable of giving improved characteristics with a simple, inexpensive arrangement which needs not a corresponding number of optical bandpass filters to the wavelength components of a light signal to be carried. The wavelength components .lambda.1 to .lambda.n of an input n-wave signal is received by an input optical fiber and transmitted through an optical circulator and an optical fiber to an optical bandpass filter which allows a specific wavelength .lambda.1 to pass but rejects the other wavelengths .lambda.2 to .lambda.n. While the rejected wavelengths .lambda.2 to .lambda.n are returned back to the optical fiber, the specific wavelength .lambda.1 runs through another optical fiber and another optical circulator and then is dropped from an output optical fiber. Meanwhile, another signal component of the wavelength .lambda.1 is added and introduced from another input optical fiber through the another optical circulator and the another optical fiber to the optical bandpass filter. Upon the added wavelength .lambda.1 having passed the optical bandpass filter and entering the optical fiber, it is mixed with the rejected wavelengths .lambda.2 to .lambda.n. A resultant sum signal of the full wavelengths .lambda.1 to .lambda.n is passed through the optical circulator and transmitted from an output optical fiber.
