摘要:
According to the invention, a first band-pass multidielectric filter (F1) receives optical signals, transmits at least one of them and reflects the untransmitted signals. An adding means (F2) inserts among them at least one other optical signal. A photoinduced Bragg grating filter (R) receives the signals reflected by the first filter and transmits them to the adding means and reflects any optical signal of the same wavelength as the signal transmitted by the first filter and which is liable to exist among the signals reflected by it. Application to optical telecommunications.
摘要:
An optical fiber for producing energy-dissipative and wavelength—selective filters is presented. The fiber includes a core and a cladding that are photosensitive to radiation and have a periodic perturbation of the refractive index. The periodic perturbation defines at least one Bragg grating with lines tilted with respect to the axis of the fiber. The refractive index difference between the core and the cladding is less than 3×10−3.
摘要:
This multiplexer adds to a group of optical signals, whose wavelengths belong to a group of wavelengths (.lambda.1 . . . .lambda.N) and drop from said group of signals at least one optical signal having a given wavelength, chosen from within the wavelength group and comprises at least one optical circulator (C1, C2) having an input for receiving the group of signals and an output, an optical selection means (MS) coupled, on one side, to the circulator and which comprises at least one photoinduced Bragg grating (R1 . . . RN), said photoinduced Bragg grating being associated with the given wavelength and which can be in a first state, where it reflects the signal having said given wavelength and where it transits signals having a wavelength different from the given wavelength or optionally in a second state where it transmits all the signals, and a means (MC) for the control of said selection means (MS) for placing the grating in said second state, the selection means cooperating with each optical circulator for adding and dropping the optical signal or signals. Application to optical telecommunications.
