Abstract: A multimode optical fibre communications system, and in particular to a system in which non-linearities in the propagation of the signal through a multimode optical communications channel degrade the signal presented to the receiver. The system includes an optical transmitter unit for connection to a multimode optical fibre transmission link. The transmitter unit has a data input for receiving an input data signal, a data signal processing circuit and a source of optical radiation. The data signal processing circuit is arranged to receive the input data signal from the data input and to provide a processed data signal to the source of optical radiation and the source of optical radiation is arranged to generate from this an optical signal for transmission by a multimode optical fibre. The data processing circuit is arranged to provide from the input data signal a non-inverted data signal and an inverted data signal, receive a control signal for controlling the generation of the processed data signal, apply a controllable delay in accordance with the control signal to at least one of the non-inverted and inverted data signals, and combine the non-inverted and inverted signals after the application of the controllable delay(s) and gain factor(s) to generate the processed data signal.

Abstract: An optical component in the form of a right angled triangular prism having a first side, a second side orthogonal to the first side, and a third side generally inclined to the first and second sides to reflect optical radiation incoming from the first side towards the second side. The first and second sides have semi-reflecting surfaces acting as etalon surfaces providing an interferometric pattern. The optical transmittance between the first and the second sides is wavelength dependent and the radiation exiting the second side of the component is rotated 90 degrees to the radiation entering the first side.

Abstract: An optical assembly for use in an optical telecommunications system and method for aligning the optical assembly. The assembly uses a pair of ball bearings to support an optical fibre on a baseplate. The optical fibre is aligned with respect to an optical device and then the first ball bearing is inserted and welded in place. The fibre alignment is then fine tuned and the second ball bearing is inserted and welded in place, thereby providing a simpler and more accurate method of aligning an optical fibre to an optical device.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining the wavelength of light emitted by, for example, a laser, includes three photodiodes. One photodiode receives a proportion of the light redirected from the main optical path by a beam splitter. A second photodiode receives a proportion of the light redirected from the main optical path by the beam splitter and passing through a broadband filter. A third photodiode receives light that has been caused to interfere by an interferometric device. The ratio of the light intensities at the first and second photodiodes provide a coarse determination of wavelength, when compared to a lookup table, and the ratio of the light intensities at the first and third photodiodes provide a more exact determination of the wavelength.
