    摘要: An optical transmission system is disclosed, in which the transmission of the optical soliton pulses is controlled by controlling the wavelength dispersion of the optical fiber transmission line for each long section including a plurality of optical amplifier repeaters. In this case,the first sections having an average value of the wavelength dispersion larger than the dispersion value meeting with the soliton condition and the second sections having an average value of the wavelength dispersion smaller than the dispersion value meeting with the soliton condition are alternatively allocated in the optical fiber transmission line, so that the average value of the wavelength dispersion of the entire length of the optical fiber transmission line assumes a positive value.

    摘要: A chromatic dispersion measuring method and apparatus are disclosed which permit highly accurate measurements of the wavelength dispersion characteristic of an optical transmission such as an optical fiber or an optical amplifier repeater system. Measurements are made on the propagation time of a first optical signal of a fixed wavelength through an optical transmission line to be measured and the propagation time through the same optical transmission line of a second optical signal whose wavelength can be arbitrarily set over the measuring wavelength band. By obtaining a difference between the both propagation times, it is possible to obtain only a change in the propagation time of each signal which is caused by a change in the wavelength of the second optical signal. That is, the elongation or shrinkage of the optical fiber has an equal influence on both of the first optical signal and the second optical signal, and hence does not induce an error in the detection of the above-said time difference.

    摘要: The operation of a laser in an optical repeater in an optical transmission system using an optical fiber cable is telemonitored at a terminal station by changing the mark ratio of the test signal which is transmitted from the terminal station to the circuit. Each of the repeaters has an optical-electrical conversion element for the conversion of the input optical energy to electrical energy, an amplifier for amplifying the electrical output of said conversion element, a laser for converting the electrical output of the amplifier to an optical output power, a device for controlling the optical output power of the laser, a switch for providing the signal return path between the upward circuit and the downward circuit, and a monitoring circuit having a reference voltage generator for providing a reference lever which is lower than the normal signal level when the signal has the mark ratio of 1/2, and a comparator for comparing the laser output with the reference level, and a device for turning OFF the switch when the monitoring circuit provides the output signal indicating that the laser output is equal to the reference level. The terminal station designates the particular repeater and closes the switch of the designated repeater, then, transmits the test signal having the controlled mark ratio. That test signal returns to the terminal station reflected by that closed switch. By adjusting the mark ratio of the test signal, the monitoring circuit of the repeater provides the output when the laser output equals to the reference level, and has the switch turned OFF. Thus, the terminal station recognizes the degree of the degration of the laser from the mark ratio when the circuit is broken.

    摘要: A light dispersion measuring apparatus, provided with a light source for generating reference light pulses of short duration and of a constant frequency and also variable-frequency light pulses in synchronization with the reference light pulses but at a frequency different therefrom. A variable optical delay line delays the reference light pulses. An optical transmission medium, to be detected and to which the variable-frequency light pulses are applied is provided. An optical non-linear effect element receiver the output light pulses from the variable optical delay line and the optical transmission medium and is disposed so that when the two light pulses coincide emitted from the light source with each other, the sum component of the frequencies of the two types of light pulses produces a maximum output. A photo detector detects the sum component. Light dispersion in the optical transmission medium being measured from the delay of the variable optical delay line is adjusted so that the sum components yields a maximum output with respect to the frequency of the variable-frequency light pulses. The frequency of the reference light pulses can be made to be equal to the variable-frequency of the variable-frequency light pulses.
