Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical communication system having a device for control and monitor of polarized light which is usable for industrial purposes, is relatively inexpensive, tough and is small in size. SOLUTION: An inline polarimeter 62 coupled to a polarized light controller 66 is small in size and exact and is therefore suitable for various systems and is capable of improving these systems. In an embodiment, the output of the inline polarimeter 62 and the input of the polarized light controller 66 are coupled by a feedback loop 64 and an 'active polarized light control'(APC) is realized.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to use an optical grating device as a device for regulatable dispersion correction and to selectively change the characteristics and performance thereof by constituting the device in such a manner that the spacings between grating elements can be changed by a variable coating when strain in an axial direction is impressed to a waveguide. SOLUTION: A movable magnet 15a is directly added to the fiber coating 14 adjacently to a grating region in order to induce the strain in the fiber. A magnet 15b which does not move is added to a fixed base material 16 or a guide rail in a bond region 13b. At this time, the magnet 15a induces the shift in a wavelength distribution having a possibility useful to some of applications of dispersion correction. When the strain in the axial direction is impressed to the waveguide by the magnet moment induced in the magnets 15a and 15b, the spacings between the grating elements may be changed by the variable coating.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the performance of a thermally controllable grating by housing the thermally controllable fiber grating in a heat insulating tube. SOLUTION: A fiber equipped with a thermally controllable grating 11 is housed in a tube 12 such as a cylinder so that heat is insulated. The diameter of the tube 12 is controlled to be large enough to produce a proper space between the tube 12 and the fiber 10 and to avoid the contact of the grating 11 with the tube 12 but to be small enough to avoid generation of large air flow near the grating 11. The inner diameter of the tube 12 is preferably 1 cm or less. The tube 12 is sealed on both ends with elastic (rubber) stoppers 13, 14. A heat reflective coating may be applied on the tube 12 to obtain a better result. By inserting capillary tubes 15, 16 through the stoppers 13, 14, respectively, openings to pass the fiber 10 through the tube 12 are obtd.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optical diffraction grating device having an adjustable chirp. SOLUTION: The optical waveguide diffraction grating having an adjustable chirp includes a waveguide diffraction grating thermally brought into contact with an electrically controllable heat converting substrate whose temperature is changed along the length of the diffraction grating (A). The heat converting substrate can generate heat on a fiber, or remove heat from the fiber, and temperature slope can be generated along the diffraction grating. In an execution example, the heat converting substrate is constituted as a resistance film whose local resistance is changed along the length of the diffraction grating (B). Currents running through the thin film can generate the temperature slope along the diffraction grating almost proportional to the local resistance of the thin film, and the size of the chirp can be adjusted by the currents. Thus, this obtained device can be made simple, compact, and efficiently power.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a device which is programmable for the purpose of a wavelength shift and dispersion correction of colors and may be latched by regulating the spacings between grating elements by the expansion or contraction of a body by a magnetic field and the consequently induced elastic strain and regulating the wavelength corresponse of the device. SOLUTION: This wavelength shift device includes a waveguide of a certain length, such as an optical fiber 11, having a grating region 12, the slender magnetostriction effect body 14 bonded along the length of the gratings 12 to the gratings in the bond region 13 and a source for exposing the body 14 to the magnetic field. A source for supplying the magnetic field, for example, a solenoid 19 is installed in proximity to the body 14 or a magnet 15 or both thereof to magnetize the magnet 15 and to distort the body 14. The body 14 is expanded or shrunk by the magnetic field, by which the elastic strain is induced in the body 14 and the spacings between the grating elements and the wavelength response of the device are regulated.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refractive index grating which is accompanied by a photosensitive profile including at least one 'adjustment area' in a core of a waveguide, in a single mode inclined grating within an optical waveguide. SOLUTION: When the photosensitive profile of the waveguide is suitably selected, a result bringing 'supernal' in a coupling from LP01,f to LP01,b is obtained. That is, the angular range of an inclined angle θ that a core mode coupling is substantially zero (that is, smaller than -30 dB) is larger than 0.1 deg., or is larger than 0.2 deg. or 0.5 deg. and is largely increased compared to an angular range obtained when the 'adjustment area' does not exist within the core of the waveguide. When the angular range is increased, the manufacture of the grating is more facilitated. In a favorable embodiment, the grating is provided with a large cladding loss (larger than 20 dB) and a band width (larger than 20 nm). A method for trimming the grating is also disclosed.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a high-power and wide-band SFS(superfluorescence fiber light source). SOLUTION: A light source 10 has first and second SE-RE doped optical fibers 11 and 12. These optical fibers are arranged, so that light can be propagated in the axial direction of the light source 10 from the fiber 11 to the fiber 12. Moreover, the light source 10 has a coupler 17 to couple a light source 14 of a first pumping light with the first pumping light in the downstream direction of the fiber 11. Moreover, the light source 10 has a light source 15 of second pumping light, a coupler 18 for coupling the second pumping light with the film 12 in the upstream direction of the light source 10 and an optical isolator 13 arranged between the films 11 and 12 so that the light, which is propagated from the fiber 12 to the upstream direction, hardly reaches the fiber 11.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an article composed of an optical waveguide mode converter which converts the light of wavelength λ from a given wave-guided mode (for example, LP01,f) to another mode (for example, LP02,b) particularly in an optical waveguide of minority mode with respect to the optical waveguide of minority and an optical communication system equipped with such a waveguide. SOLUTION: This article composed of Bragg lattice of optical waveguide of minority mode comprises the optical wave-guided mode converter which converts the light of wavelength λ from a given wave-guided mode to another mode in the optical waveguide of minority mode and the mode converter comprises a distributed refractive index lattice in the waveguide and is correlated with the plural coupling strengths. In addition, the waveguide of minority mode has a dopant distribution which is selected so as to offer a refractive index profile n (r) and a photosensitive profile p (r) to the waveguide, p (r) has photosensitivity of at least two different levels in the core and n (r), p (r) and θ are selected in such a manner that the plurality among the coupling strengths are simultaneously nullified and at least one among the coupling strengths are substancially maximized.
