摘要:
The antenna includes at least one group of antenna elements (EA1, EA2, . . . , EAp). Microwaves emitted by a central emitter (EH) reach a particular element (EA1 for example) by passing through a controllable phase shifter (VE1), a laser (LE1) which modulates a carrier light signal at a frequency specific to said antenna element with the microwaves, via an optical deflector (FIE) which injects said light signal into an optical waveguide (GE) which is common to all of the antenna elements in the group, via an optical deflector (FPE) which directs said light signal to a detector which is specific to said antenna element (EA1), and which reconstitutes the microwaves, and via a microwave amplifier (AE1) which applies the microwaves to said antenna element. The system is applicable to telecommunications and to radar.
摘要:
Apparatus of the invention includes:a diffraction grating for angularly separating the spectrum components of a beam to be processed;a grating that is conjugate with the other grating, and that makes the components parallel again; anda stair-shaped mirror for reflecting the components back to the same gratings while imposing different path lengths on the respective components.The invention is particularly applicable to compensating for the dispersion of a line fiber in a very long link between a transmitter and a receiver.
摘要:
Each node (N1) of the network is connected to each of the subscriber sets (P1-1) that are associated with the node via a single optical fiber (FP1-1) on two different wavelengths. The node is connected to each of certain other nodes via a single fiber (FN1-2) on a single wavelength. In the node, the electrical signals are supplied by two optical receivers (2, 6) and are transmitted via amplifiers (8, 10) to a single transmitter (4). A passive directional coupler (22) and a wavelength separator (20) provide the necessary optical connections. Passive optical dividers (24, 26) form two interfaces with the sets and with the other nodes. The invention is applicable in particular to industrial transmission networks.
