    Abstract: A fiber optic device for use in fiber optic transmission systems and components thereof includes a pass-through fiber and one or more lengths of circulating fiber connected to the pass-through fiber by respective optical switches for selectively routing an optical signal through the circulating fiber lengths as it propagatesalong the pass-through fiber. The circulating fiber lengths are either dispersion compensating fibers or fibers doped with a substance that will amplify or absorbthe optical signal in the respective presence or absence of a pump signal. The invention thus allows various amounts of dispersion or gain (absorption) to be selectively switched into or out of use depending upon requirements at the time.For example, an amplifying component could serve as a pre- or power- or in-line amplifier device depending on the lesser or greater amount of gain fiber electedby switching. The device can be interconnected with the transmission system or components thereof via splicing to of the ends of the pass-through fiber or via optical switches connected to the ends of the pass through fiber.

    Abstract: Un dispositivo de fibra optica para su uso en un sistema de transmision de fibra optica y componentes de los mismos incluye una fibra de paso continuo y una o más longitudes de fibras circulantes conectadas a la fibra de paso continuo por los respectivos conmutadores opticos para enviar selectivamente una señaloptica a través de las longitudes circulantes de fibra conforme se propaga a lo largo de la fibra de paso continuo. Las longitudes de fibra circulante son o bien fibras compensadoras de dispersion o fibras impurificadas con una substancia que amplifica o absorbe la señal optica en la respectiva presencia o ausencia de una señal de bombeo. La invencion permite por lo tanto que se conecten selectivamente varias cantidades de dispersion o ganancia (absorcion) para su uso o desuso dependiendo de las necesidades al momento. Por ejemplo, un componente amplificador que podría servir como un dispositivo amplificador previo o de potencia o en línea dependiendo de la menor o mayor cantidad de fibra de ganancia elegida por medio de conectar; se puede interconectar el dispositivo con el sistema de transmision o los componentes del mismo por medio de empalmar a los extremos de la fibra de paso continuo o por medio de los conmutadores opticos conectados a los extremos de la fibra de paso continuo.

    Abstract translation: 用于光纤传输系统及其部件的光纤设备包括通过光纤和一个或多个长度的循环光纤,其通过相应的光学开关连接到直通光纤,用于通过循环光纤长度选择性地路由光信号 因为它沿着直通光纤传播。 循环纤维长度是色散补偿光纤或掺杂有物质的光纤,其将在相应的存在或不存在泵浦信号的情况下放大或吸收光信号。 因此,本发明允许根据当时的要求将各种量的分散或增益(吸收)选择性地切换到或不使用。 例如,根据通过切换选择的较小或更大量的增益光纤,放大组件可以用作前置或功率或在线放大器设备。 该装置可以与传输系统或其组件通过拼接连接到直通光纤的端部或通过连接到通过光纤的端部的光学开关互连。
