摘要: In a wavelength division optical transmission system incorporating optical amplifiers, an identifying pilot tone is modulated on to each multiplexed wavelength. Each system amplifier determines from the pilot tones the total number of wavelengths being transmitted and thereby provides a corresponding adjustment of the amplifier gain. This prevents overamplification when one or more wavelengths is missing from the multiplexed signal e.g. as the result of a transmitter fault.

摘要: A distributed optical fiber sensor cable, for sensing perturbations such as pressure, comprises a length of optical fiber (10) and means adapted, in response to the perturbation to be sensed, to mechanically deform separate portions of the length of the fiber at sensing elements (11,12,13) periodically along their length in order to cause optical power launched into a mode of propagation in the core (14) and guided thereby to be coupled to an unguided mode, for example a cladding (15) mode. The coupling is optical wavelength selective and the separate sensing elements are each addressed with a different wavelength (.lambda..sub.11, .lambda..sub.12, .lambda..sub.13) for spatial resolution along the length of the cable.

摘要: A distributed Bragg grating of uniform pitch is created in a length of unstrained optical fibre which is then secured in an arcuate path to a flexible plate so as to be displaced from the neutral surface of bending of that plate. Changing the curvature of the plate imparts axial strain in the fibre which is arranged to be non-uniform as the result of the path of the fibre being arcuate. This non-uniform strain has the effect of converting the uniform grating into a chirped grating, such as may for instance be used as a dispersion equaliser.

摘要: A method of controlling a laser in an FSK direct detection system employing a two-path unbalanced interferometer in series with the laser output, the method including the steps of sensing when the system output level reaches a predetermined threshold, and superimposing a fixed amplitude step of drive current on the feedback controlled modulated drive current to the laser. The superimposed fixed amplitude step in the laser drive current causes a phase shift in the interferometer sufficient to cause the interferometer to acquire a fresh interference fringe whenever the interferometer is near to running out of range. The superimposed fixed amplitude step may be synchronized with a data bit transition.

摘要: An injection laser driver regulates the bias and modulation depth by means of two feedback control loops, one deriving its feedback control signal from a measure of the mean optical output of the laser, and the other deriving its feedback control signal from a measure of the spectral purity of that optical output. The spectral purity measure is conveniently effected by measuring the coherence function at a specific value of differential delay using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration with a passive quadrature optical network.

摘要: An optical transmission system comprises a light source, which may be coherent or incoherent, a first optical interferometer wherein light from the source is modulated, an optical path, which may be either free space or an optical fiber, along which the modulated output of the first interferometer is propagated, a second interferometer wherein light received from the optical path is demodulated, and a photodetector to which the demodulated output is applied. Typically the first interferometers is a Fabry-Perot etalon, the length of the resonant cavity of which can be altered to modulate light applied thereto.

摘要: A non-circularly-symmetric intensity distribution is formed on a quadrant photodetector by coherently mixing two optical signals propagating in selected modes of different order. These modes are chosen either such that a change in relative phase of the two signals produces solely a rotation of the orientation of that intensity distribution, or such that a change in relative states of polarization produces this rotation.
