    摘要: An approach for automatic Raman gain and tilt control for a WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical communication systems is disclosed. An optical fiber carries a plurality of optical signals, in which at least one of the optical signals are reference signals. An optical gain unit (e.g., Raman pump unit) couples to the optical fiber and adjusts the reference signals to compensate, in part, for losses associated with the optical fiber and gain tilt accumulation. Upon detecting and analyzing the reference signals, a controller controls the optical gain unit and outputs a control signal to the optical gain unit based upon the analyzed reference signals. An optical amplifier is connected to the optical fiber and amplifies the optical signals. The optical gain unit provides a nearly constant power per channel at an input of the optical amplifier. Under this approach, a Raman gain control mechanism, combined with the use of gain controlled EDFA (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier), allows high transmission capacity over ultra-long distances without optical regeneration and with high flexibility.

    摘要: An amplification architecture for WDM receiver systems. The WDM channel grid is divided into groups of adjacent channels. A separate optical amplifier is provided for each channel with a single pump being shared among the channels of each group. The gain experienced by channels of a given group may be adjusted by varying the power of the group's pump. This approach allows equalization of received channel power such that all channels fall within the desired dynamic range. The amplification architecture may be implemented in a space-efficient manner at low cost.

    摘要: Systems and methods for ameliorating double Rayleigh backscattering induced impairments are provided. Raman amplification is divided among two or more stages. Optical energy from a single counter-propagating pump may traverse multiple stages while optical energy at the frequency of the signal to be amplified is permitted to propagate in the forward direction only. In this way the pump power can be effectively distributed over the entire amplifier length. The scheme may be implemented in a simple configuration employing a closed circulator and a fiber Bragg grating. Multiple wavelength pump operation may be accommodated as well as either discrete or distributed Raman amplification.

    摘要: A method of selectively compensating for the chromatic dispersion of optical signals in an optical telecommunication network, comprising the steps of transmitting at least two signals over a common portion of said network, separating at least one of the signals from the remaining signals at at least one point of the network, compensating for the chromatic dispersion of this signal and recombining said signal with the remaining signals at said one point of the network. Preferably this method further comprises the steps of detecting the chromatic dispersion of each of the signals at at least one point of the network, identifying, among the signals, the signals to be compensated, for which the detected dispersion value does not fall within a range of predetermined values and compensating for the dispersion of said signals so as to make them fall within this range of predetermined values.

    摘要: An optical telecommunication system has at least two sources of optical modulated signals at different wavelengths in a predetermined transmission wavelength band, together with a multiplexer for the signals, an optical fibre line connected at one end to the multiplexer, and a demultiplexer/receiver for the signals. The line comprises an optical fibre having a chromatic dispersion value lower than a predetermined value in the transmission wavelength band and increasing as wavelength increases. The fibre also has a zero value of chromatic dispersion at a wavelength lower than the minimum wavelength of the transmission wavelength band by such an amount that no local wavelength zero value of the chromatic dispersion present in the fibre and capable of generating a four-wave-mixing phenomenon is included in the band.
