摘要:
A multiwavelength, multistage optical amplifier, which can be arranged in a cascade, substantially increases the degree of automatic power control (APC), multiwavelength APC (MAPC), and multiwavelength automatic gain control (MAGC), for at least two wavelengths. The multiwavelength, multistage optical amplifier or amplifier cascade has at least two spectrally different gain media (GM), i.e. first and second GM, connected in series for amplifying a signal having at least two wavelengths, i.e. first and second wavelengths. The first GM may be aluminosilicate erbium doped fiber, the second GM may be germanosilicate erbium doped optical fiber. The gain at the first wavelength is smaller than the gain at the second wavelength, while the signal power at the first wavelength is larger than the signal power at the second one, and vice versa. This may automatically compensate for loss tilt. The gain media may be homogeneously broadened.

A high power pumping apparatus for optical fiber amplification includes: a pumping portion for generating pumping light of a predetermined wavelength band, the wavelength of which is determined by the wavelength of the pumping light fed back from a subsegment portion; a wavelength division multiplexer for multiplexing the pumping light generated by the pumping portion, for dividing the signal light incident from a subsegment portion according to wavelengths, and for outputting the signal light to the pumping portion; and a broad-band reflecting portion for reflecting some of the output light multiplexed by the wavelength division multiplexer, for outputting the reflected light to the wavelength division multiplexer, and for outputting the remaining light as pumping light for light amplification. In the high power pumping apparatus according to the present invention, the same pumping diodes can be used without a wavelength selecting diode. The high power pumping is useful for optical fiber amplification for a cable TV and for remote pumping since the pumping is performed therein in a wide spectrum range.
摘要:
An erbium doped fiber amplifier has a shape of the gain spectrum which is independent of the operating conditions by using a gain medium with this property. The gain medium can be an erbium-doped fiber with a wavelength-independent gain swing over a range of wavelengths (especially a low Al.sup.3+ -content aluminogermanosilicate EDF). As an alternative, the gain medium can consist of at least two pieces of EDFs, so that changes of the shape of the gain spectra (induced by changes of the operating conditions) in the different types of EDFs effectively offset each other. Within an overlapping wavelength range, the gain spectrum can then be further modified in a power-independent way (i.e.--independent of operating conditions) so as to make the gain spectrum flat (i.e.--gain wavelength-independent) by means of one or several optical filter(s) placed before and/or after the gain medium, and/or distributed along the gain medium, or by means of a "filtering EDF", specially selected in a constant population inversion region of the EDFA. The gain spectrum thus obtained is both flat and independent of operating conditions so that a dynamic gain flatness which is independent of input signal power, operating gain, and population inversion is realized. As a desired consequence of the dynamic gain flatness, the gain of different channels in a WDM system will always be equal, irrespective of the operating conditions. Furthermore, AC gain tilt will be eliminated for analog AM CATV systems.

A scan driver drives a display device having a plurality of gate lines transferring scan signals, and a plurality of source lines transferring data signals. The scan driver includes a shift register and a multiple signal applying unit. The shift register includes a plurality of cascade-connected stages, each stage having an output terminal electrically connected to a respective one of the plurality of gate lines. The multiple signal applying unit applies a sub scan signal and a main scan signal. The sub scan signal and the main scan signal sequentially activate each of the plurality of gate lines. Therefore, the scan lines receive the scan signal twice, so that the liquid crystal capacitors electrically connected to the gate lines receive the data voltage twice. As a result, even though the time for charging the liquid crystal capacitors may be reduced, the liquid crystal capacitors may be fully charged to enhance display quality.
