Abstract: A method for upgrading bandwidth in a fiber optic system utilizing Raman amplification and having an initial band capacity provided by a plurality of pumps including the steps of identifying a fiber optic system to be upgraded (12), activating at least one new pump (16) in the fiber optic system necessary to provide upgraded band capacity to the fiber optic system while retaining the initial band capacity provided by the plurality of pumps, and adjusting power of at least one pump of the fiber optic system to minimize gain ripple or signal output ripple (18).

Abstract: A variable delay device of the type used to correct for polarization mode dispersion in a signal transmitted over an optical communications system. In an exemplary embodiment, the variable delay device uses a plurality of polarization rotators and delay elements aligned in series and alternating with one another. The polarization rotators map the fast polarization mode component of the incoming optical signal to the slow axes of one or more delay elements, to achieve a desired pattern of relative incremental delays which total the initial differential delay being compensated. The delay elements may have uniform or non-uniform incremental delay values, and the polarization rotators may be selectively actuated to achieve the desired pattern of delay values corresponding to the intended total delay. Examples of suitable delay devices include waveguides having relatively high differential group delay characteristics associated with two orthogonal axes compared with conventional single-mode transmission fiber, and examples of suitable polarization rotators include twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) or ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) cells which rotate the polarization mode components of the optical signal by 90° when actuated.

Abstract: A Raman fiber amplifier includes: a transmission fiber; at least one optical pump providing optical pump power to the transmission fiber; and at least on e pump power detector; at least one signal detector detecting signal power propagating through the transmission fiber. The Raman fiber amplifier also includes a controller that adjusts the pump power provided by the pump to adjust, gain, or signal power provided by this Raman fiber amplifier.
