摘要： The present invention is directed to an optical time-domain reflectometer which employs a so-called “out-of-band” offsetting to cancel the effects of Raman non-linearities which extract energy from the traffic signal wavelengths and amplify the test signal back-scattering. Losses and faults in the optical fibers are monitored by measuring the back-scattered portion of the light launched into the fiber, with the test signal back-scattering judiciously offset to account for the Raman non-linearities. That is, the effects of the Raman non-linearities are taken as a baseline measurement and, then accordingly used as a basis to offset the test signal back-scattering.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及一种光时域反射计，其采用所谓的“带外”偏移来消除从交通信号波长中提取能量的拉曼非线性的影响，并放大测试信号反向信号，散射。通过测量发射到光纤中的光的反向散射部分来监测光纤中的损耗和故障，测试信号反向散射明确地抵消了拉曼非线性。也就是说，将拉曼非线性的影响作为基线测量，并且因此用作抵消测试信号反向散射的基础。

摘要： The present invention employs polarizers and delay elements to effect the real-time measurement of optical parameters required to compute the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in an optical fiber. The measurement is performed in situ and based on the remote sensing of the intensity levels of optical pulses transmitted through two polarizers deployed along the fiber for different known states of polarization at each of two wavelengths. In as much as information about the output states of polarization of the optical pulses contained in these latter intensity transmission measurements are made substantially coincident with the location of the polarizers, the return propagation of the optical pulses does not affect the measured polarization characteristics of the fiber.

摘要： A fiber optical coupler comprises a bundle of optical fibers configured to couple light from a multiplicity of input light sources to an output port, each of the fibers comprising a multimode fiber having a core region and a cladding region surrounding the core region. The bundle has first and second axial sections arranged in tandem and adiabatically coupled to one another via a transition zone that includes an optical interface. Within the first section, the ratio of the cross-sectional core area of each of at least some of the fibers to the total cross-sectional area of each of those fibers is given by R1, and within the second section, the ratio of the cross-sectional core area of each of at least some of the fibers to the total cross-sectional area of each of those fibers is given by R2>R1, where R2 is substantially constant along the axial length of the second section. In one embodiment, the second section is tapered from a larger diameter at the optical interface to a smaller diameter at the output port. Methods of making such optical couplers are also described.

摘要： An all-fiber combiner device is described for combining multiple high power inputs, such as high power laser inputs. The device includes a first tapered fiber section made from fibers that allow for efficient size reduction of the optical signals. The output of the first tapered fiber section may then be coupled to a multimode output fiber for delivery of the combined power beam. Alternately, the first tapered section can be coupled to a second, multimode, tapered section, which provides further size reduction of the core for splicing into a final output fiber, while adding cladding to the main fiber.

摘要： The present invention employs “polarization markers” deployed immediately after the branching portion of a passive optical network (PON) for measuring and monitoring transmission losses and faults. Each polarization marker is configured to produce a unique polarization dependent loss (PDL) within the corresponding branch of the PON. Since each polarization marker uniquely attenuates optical test pulse(s) launched into the PON, the back-scattering uniquely varies with the launched state of polarization. Losses within each branch of the PON are then monitored by measuring the back-scattered portion of the launched optical pulse(s) as a function of time for different known states of polarization, wherein the unique PDL associated with each polarization marker is used as the basis for distinguishing the branches from one another.

摘要： A plurality of optical fibers (13) are first bonded to an upper surface of a flat flexible plastic substrate (12). The optical fibers are covered with a layer (20) of thermoplastic material to form a composite structure comprising the thermoplastic material, the optical fibers and the plastic substrate. The composite structure is then compressed at a first elevated temperature and at a first relatively high pressure which are sufficient to bond or tack the thermoplastic material to the plastic substrate. The temperature of a composite structure is then cool while maintaining the first relatively high pressure. Thereafter, a second elevated temperature is applied to the thermoplastic material while compressing the composite structure at a second pressure. The second elevated temperature is higher than the first temperature and is sufficiently high to cause the thermoplastic material to flow about and encase the optical fibers, while the second pressure is smaller than the first pressure and is sufficiently small to avoid damaging said optical fibers. The various compression steps are applied by upper (17) and lower (16) platens of a press machine which are appropriately heated to apply the temperatures described above.
