摘要： A fiber optic system includes a transmitter for transmitting high-speed streaming electrical data to a receiver for receiving the high-speed data. In order to transmit multiple channels in the system at high-speeds, an electrical data signal is converted into multiple optical sub-signals. Each of the multiple optical sub-signals are transmitted at the common wavelength on multi-spatial mode media. The receiver receives the multiple optical sub-signals as a multi-spatial mode optical signal and separates the multi-spatial mode optical signal into branch signals having a common wavelength. The receiver mixes each of the branch signals with optical carrier waves having the common wavelength and converts the branch signals into electrical signals. Digital signal processing is used to recover the data sub-signals which are used to recover the original data signal.

摘要： A method for cost-effective optical transmission with fast Raman tilt or other transient event control uses a combination of Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) and Raman fiber amplifiers (RFAs), where EDFAs are used as the primary optical amplifiers to compensate the span loss while the RFA (advantageously a forward-pumped RFA) is used only in some specific spans with a feed-forward control circuit serving as a fast Raman tilt transient compensator, the RFA also serving as an optical amplifier. A long haul optical transmission system using feed-forward controlled RFA's periodically spaced along its length, for example, when add-drop multiplexing is used, makes full use of the economics of EDFAs and the fast tilt transient control capability of a RFA enabled by an adjustable speed feed-forward or feed-back control technique.

摘要： In an optical transmission link having discrete optical reflection sources that cause multi path interference (MPI) and optical return loss (ORL), a method determines how to reduce to beneath a predetermined threshold, a predetermined phenomenon (MPI or ORL or a composite of the two). The method involves (408/428/458) measuring link parameters of the optical transmission link using an optical reflectometry technique, (410/430/460) calculating a level of the predetermined phenomenon based on the link parameters, and (416/436/466) simulating replacement of a number of the reflection sources until the calculated level of the predetermined phenomenon is reduced to less than the predetermined threshold. The method may be performed within a portable optical reflectometry device to facilitate field simulations.

摘要： The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for controlling a gain of a bidirectionally-pumped Raman fiber amplifier having both forward optical pumps and backward optical pumps. The overall gain is controlled by adjusting the forward optical pumps, while the power levels of the backward optical pumps are essentially fixed. Gain circuitry operates in an opened loop configuration and uses a predetermined function relating a power variation of at least one wavelength region with a pump power adjustment for at least one forward optical pump. Two approximate linear relationships between the input signal power variations and the required pump power adjustments are utilized in controlling the Raman fiber amplifier. Each approximate linear relationship includes at least one linear coefficient that relates a power variation for a specific wavelength region and a power adjustment of a specific Raman pump.
