摘要:
A system which improves wavelength tolerance, compensates dispersion in a simple way, reduces limitation of the fiber input power is disclosed. The operation includes receiving a clock signal from a system clock source; modulating a single mode optical signal based on the clock signal and generating an optical pulse signal having two longitudinal modes, the frequency interval thereof being n×B, n being a natural number and B being a transmission speed; generating a partial response signal by converting a binary NRZ signal from a digital signal source in synchronism with the system clock source; and modulating the optical pulse signal based on the partial response signal, and outputting a binary RZ modulated signal. The binary RZ modulated signal is input into a receiver, where two partial response components in the optical spectra of the input signal are divided, and one or both of the components are received.

An optical transmission system which provides bandwidth restricted optical signal comprises an input terminal (10) for accepting an electrical binary signal, an amplifier (12) for amplifying said electrical binary signal to the level requested for operating an electrical-optical converter (16) such as a Mach Zehnder light modulator, a bandwidth restriction means (14) which is for instance a low pass filter for restricting bandwidth of said electrical binary signal, and an electrical-optical conversion means (16) such as a Mach Zehnder light modulator for converting electrical signal to optical signal. Because of the location of the low pass filter (14) between an output of the amplifier (12) and the Mach Zehnder light modulator (16), the amplifier (12) may operate in saturation region to provide high level output signal enough for operating the Mach Zehnder light modulator, and a signal shaped by the low pass filter (14) is applied to the Mach Zehnder light modulator (16) with excellent waveform. The invention is useful for long distance, large capacity and low cost optical transmission system.

The optical transmission circuit of the present invention has an optical modulator 12 which modulates continuous light at wavelength λo with a signal at repetition frequency fo Hz and outputs alternating phase-inverted pulse light; a bias voltage applying unit 14 which applies a bias voltage to the optical modulator 12; an optical power spectrum measuring unit 17 having frequency resolution of less than fo Hz which measures the optical power spectrum of light output from the optical modulator 12; and a control circuit which controls the bias voltage via the bias voltage applying unit 14 based on measurements of the power spectrum of the output light of the optical modulator 12, so as to minimize the power intensity of the carrier spectrum component of wavelength λo, or to maximize the power intensity of the spectrum component in both side bands.
