摘要： The present invention propose to use an optical multiplexer associated with an optical clock as a wavelength converter. Each RZ coded tributary will be carried by a single wavelength (channel) passively interleaved with the others without interferometric interaction hence achieving a not necessarily perfect OTDM. This input data stream as optical data signal composed of different wavelengths is then launched on at least one data access of said optical multiplexer used as a wavelength converter. An optical clock at the desired bit-rate is launched on the probe access of said optical multiplexer synchronously to the multi-wavelength data stream. At the output, the initial clock wavelength is converted on data signal using the gain conversion property of the optical multiplexer. In such a way, a data stream of substantially higher bit-rate is obtained while due to a very precise synchronization a lost of data is minimized.

摘要： The invention relates to an optical fiber transmission system using soliton signals with wavelength division multiplexing in which the wavelengths, &lgr;1 to &lgr;n, of the various channels of the multiplex are selected in such a manner that at least one point of the transmission system, the difference between the bit times of any two channels of the multiplex is substantially a submultiple T/N of the clock period. The invention proposes placing a synchronous modulator at said point to modulate the soliton signals at a frequency N/T which is a multiple of the soliton clock frequency 1/T. In a frequency allocation scheme that ensures that the bit times of the channels are synchronous at an interval ZR, this makes it possible to modulate all of the channels at intervals that are submultiples of ZR by using modulation frequencies that are multiples of the clock frequency.

摘要： An optical module advantageously uses optical conversion fibers not only for a single channel but for sets of channels that are, in a specific way, selected from a multi-channel wave division multiplex (WDM) grid. The sets of channels are defined such that four wave mixing is negligible or has a negligible effect. The optical module has a demultiplexer, a multiplexer, and parallel optical conversion fiber portions that are arranged between the demultiplexer and the multiplexer. Each of the parallel optical conversion fiber portions has a specific dispersion map and transmits a different set of channels of the multi-channel WDM grid. These channels are regularly spaced from each other.

摘要： A wavelength converter for binary optical signals includes an interferometer structure (110) for generating an output signal by modulating a received local signal (LS) according to the modulation of a fUrther received first input signal (IS 1).

摘要： It is propose to use a DI-NOLM comprising an optical loop made of two spools of dispersive fibers with large effective area but of local dispersion of opposite sign and a HLN fiber in between. In this configuration according to the invention, the input optical signal needs to be initially chirped. A nonlinear phase shift is then generated between both counter propagating optical fields inside the HNL as the consequence of the peak power imbalance. Advantageously, it is possible to process RZ or RZ/DSPK with a rather large shape at half-way taking even more than 65% of bit time. This can be achieved without any alteration of the optical regeneration. Moreover, in this configuration by using the method according to the invention, the compensation dispersion is realized inside the DI-NOLM, and so it is not necessary to add a compensating dispersion state at this interferometer.
