    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a WDM optical transmission system using high co- propagating Raman amplification. SOLUTION: The user of a co-propagating fiber Raman amplifier in an optical WDM transmission system has been found to be practical in the situation where the fiber amplifier is operated into depletion and the characteristics of the input signals are controlled to exhibit a reduced integrated relative intensity noise (RIN) over the fiber crosstalk bandwidth. In particular, the reduction in the integrated RIN can be achieved by increasing the number of input channels (by adding more messages or simply using dummy channels), encoding the data in a particular fashion to reduced the integrated RIN, or decorrelating the plurality of N input signals below a predetermined, relatively low frequency (for example, 2 MHz).

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize reduction of disadvantages due to fiber non-linearity by relaxing a non-linear interaction which limits the number of channels through deterioration of system performance using a prescribed remote pumping amplification system arranged so that a prescribed parameter range can be obtained. SOLUTION: An optical signal from a light source 100 is made incident to a booster amplifier 105 which is an individual Er-doped fiber amplifier, and then made incident to a first fiber span 110. The fiber span 110 is terminated at a repeater 135. A Raman pumping source 120 is set in the repeater 135 to remotely pump a fiber core in the fiber span 110 disposed directly in front of the repeater 135. Moreover, an Er-doped fiber amplifier 125 which is constituted of three individual amplifier stages 125.1-125.3 is arranged in the repeater 135. The gain flattening of the composite gain spectrum of the cascade-connected amplifiers can be realized by a normal design principle.

Part of a signal on a transmission fiber path 11 is sampled, for example, by a tap 34, and this signals is analyzed so that the scale of the maintenance of the transmitted data can be obtained, and a feedback signal for controlling a variable distribution compensation grating 33 can be obtained from this scale. In the variable distribution compensator 30, a signal light from the transmission fiber 11 is directed to the variable distribution compensation grating 33.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a four-wave mixed component from being generated in signal bands at the time of performing the Raman amplification of optical signals propagating through an optical fiber. SOLUTION: This light transmission system 10 has two exciting light sources 18, 20 in order to perform the Raman amplification of optical signals poured into an optical fiber 16 from a light source 12 via an isolator 14 and amplifies the optical signals being in a C band (1,530 nm to 1,562 nm) and an L band (1,575 nm to 1,604 nm) by injecting exciting waves into the optical fiber 16 via a multiplexer 22. The exciting signals are selected so as to realize a relatively wide and flat composite gain spectrum having a band width wider by 50% or more than a band width to be generated by a single wavelength excitation, and also, are selected so as to prevent the four-wave mixed component from existing in either the C band or the L band.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optical router which is easily producible from a not costly optical fiber element and does not require an optical device or integrated optical element of a bulk type by constituting the optical router of an electronic element (phase controller), a directional coupler made of a fiber, a reflection grating filter made of a fiber, a tap made of a fiber and a phase modulator made of a fiber. SOLUTION: An input wavelength is equally divided to a port 2 and a port 3 by the coupler 10. The phase modulator 12 imparts a small dither signal to the phase of the light from the port 3. A reflector 11A and a reflector 11B returns the one wavelength to the coupler 10 while matching. Both of the two reflected optical powers interfere with each other in the coupler 10 based on their overall phase. The tap 13 samples the interference of the reflected light power and the dither signal. The tap 13 applies the samples of the interference signal and the dither signal to the controller 14. The controller 14 analyzes the dither signal and forms a compensation voltage in the phase modulator 12.
