    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). When such interferometer structures (110) are operated in a standard mode it is known in the art to control the power of the input signal such that the extinction ratio of the output signal is kept minimal. The invention also controls the power of the input signals to achieve the minimal extinction ratio when the wavelength converter and in particular the interferometer structure (110) is operated in a differential mode receiving two input signals.

    摘要: A method of applying an amorphous boron-based protective coating to an optical fiber comprising an optical core enclosed in optical cladding, both made of a silica-based material, wherein the boron is applied to the surface of said optical fiber chemically from the vapor phase at a temperature lying in the range 1050.degree. C. to 1250.degree. C., by reducing boron chloride BCl.sub.3 by means of hydrogen H.sub.2. The amorphous boron protective coating imparts mechanical protection to the fiber, and enhanced abrasion resistance, enabling the fiber to be used in optical cables of high capacity and that are highly compact. The thickness of the resin coating can be about half that required when a carbon protective coating is used, and can even be eliminated. The coating further provides sealing properties comparable to those provided by a carbon coating.

    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.
