    摘要: The present invention relates to a light source apparatus that has a base structure capable of generating SC light and further having a structure that enables the shaping of the spectral waveform of the SC light, power adjustment of the SC light, or adjustment of the frequency of repetition of the pulse train that contains the SC light. For example, a light source apparatus that enables shaping of spectral waveforms comprises a seed light source that emits seed light which is a pulse train or continuous light; an optical fiber that generates SC light from the seed light, and spectrum shaping means for completely or partially changing the spectral waveform of the SC light. The shaping of the spectral waveform changes the maximum power of the seed light by changing the optical coupling efficiency of the seed light source and optical fiber, for example, thereby suitably deforms the spectrum of the SC light.

    摘要: In an optical amplifier according to the present invention, a change signal from a change signal source is fed into a light source or a drive circuit. The wavelength of light outputted from the light source is changed based on the change signal. The wavelength-changed output light from the light source is outputted as pumping light from a pumping light generator to be supplied backwardly via an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer into an optical fiber. Signal light is Raman-amplified in the optical fiber with the supply of the pumping light.

    摘要: A nonlinear optical signal-treating apparatus can suppress the distortion of pulse light to be inputted into an optical fiber to an allowable level or less. The apparatus comprises a pulse light source for outputting first pulse light, a first optical fiber, a second optical fiber that is spliced with the first optical fiber and has a mode-field diameter smaller than that of the first optical fiber, and a light-introducing system for inputting the first pulse light into the first optical fiber. The second optical fiber receives the first pulse light and generates second pulse light having a newly produced wavelength. The peak power ratio of the first pulse light outputted from the first optical fiber to that inputted into the first optical fiber and the pulse width ratio of the first pulse light outputted from the first optical fiber to that inputted into the first optical fiber are 0.5 to 1.5.

The optical transmission line comprises a first negative dispersion fiber having an absolute value of a dispersion slope of not larger than 0.03 ps/nm2/km and overall dispersion of not larger than −5 ps/nm at one wavelength in the range of 1450 nm to 1600 nm, and a positive dispersion fiber, which are disposed in this order in a direction of transmission of signal light. The optical transmission system comprises a transmitter and an optical transmission line, the line comprising a first optical fiber disposed on the most upstream side and a second optical fiber spliced to the first optical fiber. The first optical fiber has negative chromatic dispersion and an absolute value of a dispersion slope of not larger than 0.03 ps/nm2/km at any one wavelength of the signal light. An absolute value of the sum of overall dispersion of the first optical fiber and overall dispersion of the second optical fiber is smaller than an absolute value of the overall dispersion of the first optical fiber.
