摘要： In order to be able to use a semiconductor light amplifier of conventional type and operating under gain saturation conditions while nevertheless providing constant gain for an optical signal to be amplified, the device comprises means for producing a compensation light wave and coupling means for injecting the optical signal to be amplified and the compensation light wave into the amplifier. The compensation light wave presents amplitude modulation such that when combined with the optical signal to be amplified the overall amplitude modulation is eliminated or at least attenuated. The device is applicable to optical transmission systems operating at a single wavelength or with wavelength division multiplexing.

摘要： Packets conveying data are received by a router via input ports which impose on them optical carrier waves whose wavelengths correspond to the ports. Respective time-delays are applied to the packets and they are broadcast to spatial selectors that transmit them to spectral selectors. Amplifiers are distributed over the paths of the packets and the paths are organized in such a manner as to limit the number of semiconductor optical switches in the selectors and to minimize noise and optical crosstalk affecting the packets.

摘要： The invention relates to a switch (112) for optical signals and which has a number of outputs at least equal to the number of inputs and include means whereby an input signal is routed to at least one of those outputs. Each input receives information modulating optical carriers at different wavelengths. The switch (112) includes means (12611, 12612, . . . , 126NB) for grouping all the carriers received into non-contiguous subsets of carriers (G11, . . . , G1B, . . . , GN1, . . . , GNB) and means (1291, 1292, . . . , 129NB) for selecting blocks of carriers from the same subset of carriers. The information corresponding to each subset of optical carriers is thus routed in blocks to the same subset output. Switching the carriers at the subset level improves the quality of the output signal and limits the number of components for the same total quantity of information switched.

摘要： A WDM network (R) comprises an optical fiber (F) connected to a hub (H) via an input of a demultiplexer (DX) having N outputs to communications stations (Si-Sn) able to deliver and/or receive spectral multiplexes of modulated optical signals with different wavelengths, via coupling means (CP, CP′, MXB). The communications stations (Sn−1) are adapted to deliver spectral multiplexes of modulated optical signals from a given one of P disjoint bands of wavelengths. At least one of the coupling means (MXB) is a 2×1 band multiplexer comprising i) an output connected to a downstream portion of the optical fiber (F), ii) a first input connected to one of the stations (then referred to as the “primary” station) and adapted to its band of wavelengths, and iii) a second input connected to an upstream portion of the optical fiber (F) and adapted to channels having wavelengths different from those of the channels passing through the first input. The demultiplexer (DX) is of periodic type so as to deliver at each of its N outputs channels whose wavelengths belong to distinct sets of P wavelengths each belonging to a distinct one of the P disjoint bands.
