    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize an optical fiber communication system by which even the function not available hitherto because of deficient cost efficiency can be provided, by utilizing fiber filters simply and at low cost, so that the cost of the system can be reduced. SOLUTION: An optical fiber communication system is provided with a first radiation source 41 of a first wavelength λ1 , a utilization means of the radiation source such as a receiver 46, first optical fiber transmission passages 44, 48 for connecting the first radiation source 41 with the utilization means 46, a second radiation source 42 of a second wavelength λ , a utilization means 47 of the radiation source of the second wavelength, and second optical fiber transmission passages 44, 49 for connecting the second radiation source 42 with the utilization means 47. The first part 44 of the first optical fiber transmission passages 44, 48 is included in the second optical fiber transmission passage. The system is further provided with an optical filter 48 that ejects nearly all the radiation of the second wavelength from the second part of the first optical fiber transmission passages 44, 48.

    Abstract: A fiber optic system comprises an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, and an optical fiber transmission path that optically couples the transmitter and the receiver to one another. The transmission path includes a first section that has negative dispersion at an operating wavelength lambd0 greater than about 1300 nm and a second section that includes a MOF. The MOF has relatively large anomalous dispersion at lambd0 and is sufficiently long to compensate the accumulated negative dispersion in the first section. In one embodiment the MOF comprises a core, a lower index cladding that includes one or more layers of air holes surrounding the core, characterized in that the diameter of the core is less than about 8 mum and the difference in effective refractive index between the core and cladding is greater than about 0.1 (10%). Preferably, the cladding contains no more than 2 layers of air holes and the distance between the nearest edges of adjacent air holes is less than about 1 mum.

    Abstract: The performance of optical fiber Raman devices can be increased by substitution of a broadband reflector (typically a multilayer dielectric mirror) for some of the narrowband reflectors (typically fiber Bragg gratings) that are conventionally used to define the optical cavities of the device. The device exemplarily is a Raman laser or amplifier, and in preferred embodiments a broadband reflector reflects all the Stokesshifted wavelengths, such that the cavities are defined by the single broadband reflector and by a multiplicity of appropriately selected narrowband reflectors. Optionally the broadband reflector also serves to reflect the pump radiation.

    Abstract: A transmission fiber for use in a Raman amplified optical communication system is formed to exhibit certain characteristics that limit modulation instability and four-wave mixing in the amplification region, thus reducing the noise component present in the transmission system. In particular, the group-velocity dispersion (denoted as D and measured in terms of ps/nm-km) is restricted to be either non- positive or greater than +1.5ps/nm-km in the pump wavelength range of interest (a typica l pump wavelength range being 1430-1465nm). Preferably, the magnitude of the dispersion is kept below a value of 10 ps/nm-km in the signal wavelength range of interest (e.g., the "C" band or "L" band). Four-wave mixing is reduced by ensuring that the zero - dispersion frequency of the transmission fiber is not centered between the pump frequency and a frequency experiencing Raman gain.

    Abstract: Our method of making high bandwidth silica-based multimode optical fibe r comprises provision of a non-circular preform, and drawing fiber of chiral structure from the preform. The non-circular preform can be made by maintaining the inside of the tubular preform under reduced pressure during at least part of the collapse, resulting in a non-circular core and cladding. It can also be made by remova l (e.g., by grinding or plasma etching) of appropriate portions of the preform, resulting in a circular core and non-circular cladding. In the latter case, fiber is drawn at a relatively high temperature such that, due to surface tension, the cladding assumes substantially circular shape and the core assumes a non-circular shape. The chiral structure is imposed on the fiber in any appropriate way, e.g., by twisting during fiber drawing the fiber alternately in clockwise and couterclockwise sense relative to the preform.
