    摘要: A multi-channel optical equalizer for intersymbol interference mitigation compensates for single- or multi-wavelength channels simultaneously and requires few adjustable parameters. The optical equalizer also compensates for overshoots and signal transition degradations in semiconductor optical amplifiers. The equalizer unit uses one control signal for magnitude and one to control signal phase. The equalizer includes a controllable coupling ratio coupler for splitting the light into two portions and a controllable interferometer having two arms, one arm having an additional delay which is equal to an integer multiple of 1/Δf, where Δf is the channel spacing between adjacent wavelengths utilized in the optical system. The controllable interferometer has a controllable delay in a first or second arm for adjusting the relative phase of the light passing therethrough. A coupler combines the two signal portions from the first and second arms to form the equalized output signal. A multistage optical equalizer is implemented using a plurality of optical signal equalizers.

    摘要: An example apparatus comprises an optical transmitter which includes a first processor and at least two optical modulators. The first processor is configured to generate a first electronic representation for each of at least two optical signals for carrying payload data modulated according to a one-dimensional (1-D) modulation format, and to induce on respective ones of the first electronic representations an amount of dispersion that depends on a power-weighted accumulated dispersion (ADPW) of a transmission link through which the at least two optical signals are to be transmitted thereby generating complex-valued electronic representations of pre-dispersion-compensated optical signals. Each of the at least two optical modulators modulate a respective analog version corresponding to a respective one of the complex-valued electronic representations onto a polarization of an optical carrier.

    摘要: A spatially multiplexed optical link having a plurality of transmission paths, wherein at least one transmission path is configured to carry an optical-pump signal while one or more other transmission paths carry data-bearing signals. Disposed within the optical link are an optical signal-distribution module and an amplifier module. The optical signal-distribution module is configured to couple portions of the optical-pump signal into the data-bearing transmission paths. The amplifier module is configured to amplify the data-bearing signals using these portions of the optical-pump signal as a power source in a suitable all-optical amplification scheme. The optical-pump signal can optionally be tapped and applied to a photovoltaic element configured to directly power a device, e.g., an optical performance monitor, or to charge the battery of that device to enable its autonomous operation if external electrical power is not available where the device is deployed.

    摘要: Increasing the capacity of an existing lightwave transmission system can be accomplished by either increasing the bit rate or adding wavelength-multiplexed channels. Recent advances in erbium-doped fiber amplifier technology make the wavelength division multiplexed option particularly attractive. Unfortunately, because of nonuniform wavelength-dependent gain profile and saturation characteristic of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, each channel of a wavelength-multiplexed system will experience a different optical gain which, in turn, can result in an excessive bit-error-rate performance in some channels. This invention is directed toward processing apparatus which selectively equalizes the optical gain or the optical signal-to-noise ratios of the channels of a wavelength-multiplexed optical transmission system. The output powers and the signal-to-noise ratios are selectively equalized by adjusting the optical input signal powers. With this invention, wavelength-multiplexed channels can be added to an existing optical fiber transmission system without requiring new optical components, upgrades or adjustments at intermediate amplifier sites.

    摘要: To overcome the deleterious effects of the nonuniform frequency modulation response in semiconductor lasers due to current injection in direct frequency modulation applications, it has been determined that the linewidth enhancement factor .alpha. be made as large as possible. In one embodiment, distributed feedback lasers well suited for frequency modulation lightwave communication systems are designed to have an integrated feedback element such as a corrugation grating whose effective pitch is selected to cause the Bragg wavelength and, therefore, the laser operating wavelength to be longer than the wavelength at substantially the maximum gain or gain peak in the semiconductor structure without the grating. That is, the wavelength of the grating is effectively detuned toward the longer wavelength and lower energy side of the peak of the gain profile. Such detuning increases the linewidth enhancement factor in such a way that the nonuniform frequency modulation response and its effects are minimized and, in some cases, substantially eliminated.

    摘要: A multi-pump phase modulator apparatus and operating method uses only one phase modulator to eliminate SBS without degrading idler(s). The single phase modulator phase modulates multiple pump signals to form multiple phase modulated pump signals using a modulation signal having a modulation period. A delay apparatus delays a first wavelength group by the modulation period relative to other wavelength groups. A combiner combines the delayed first wavelength group with the other wavelength groups to form a combined modulated multiple pump signal. In one embodiment a multi-pump phase parametric apparatus comprises the multi-pump phase modulator apparatus combined with a parametric apparatus to generate an amplified input signal and one or more idlers. Other embodiments of the multi-pump phase conjugator apparatus are used as part of an Optical Switch, Sampler, Tributary Extractor, and Regenerator.

    摘要: A system and method of protecting all the amplifiers in a link between wavelength routing network elements of an optical network. According to the invention, an optical control channel is added before a plurality of optical amplifier, preferably the first amplifier, in a link. To prevent improper loading of downstream links, the control channel is stripped off at the next wavelength routing network element. The power of the control channel is automatically adjusted using a fast feedback circuit to hold substantially constant the total power of the signal channels and the control channel at the input of the first amplifier following the feedback loop. In this manner, channel loading of all optical amplifiers in the link is maintained substantially constant, and the incidence of error bursts, as might otherwise result when one or more channels are added or dropped due to a network fault or reconfiguration, is substantially reduced.
