摘要： An all-optical system for regenerating a first optical signal carried in a first direction on an optical transmission medium and a second optical signal carried in a second direction on the optical transmission medium includes a bi-directional clock recovery loop and a bi-directional optical gate. The bi-directional clock recovery loop includes a first optical clock recovery circuit for recovering a first clock signal from the first optical signal and a second optical circuit for recovering a second clock signal from the second optical signal. The first and second optical circuits of the clock recovery loop share at least some common optical circuit elements. The bi-directional optical gate includes a first non-linear optical light mirror circuit for producing a first regenerated signal based on the first optical signal and the first clock signal and a second non-linear optical light mirror circuit for producing a second regenerated signal based on the second optical signal and the second clock signal. The first and second non-linear optical light mirror circuits share at least some common optical circuit elements.

摘要： A polarization mode compensation system and method using optical switch elements to establish incremental delays between different polarization modes of an optical data signal is provided. A polarization mode separator separates the optical data signal into first and second orthogonally polarized optical signals. A first variable switching delay element provides a first incremental propagation delay for the first polarized optical signal. A second variable switching delay element provides a second incremental propagation delay for the second polarized optical signal. The first and second variable switching delay elements consist of a series of optical switches optically interconnected by different incremental lengths of optical fiber. For example, 2.times.2 optical switches are provided for switching between a reference fiber segment and a respective delay fiber segment to provide a relative incremental propagation delay. A controller controls optical switches in the first and second variable switching delay elements to set first and second incremental propagation delays. In particular, the first and second polarized optical signals are incrementally delayed relative to one another so as to compensate for polarization mode dispersion. A beam combiner then combines the first and second polarized optical signals to form an optical output data signal which can be detected accurately by a receiver without the effects of polarization mode dispersion. In this way, optical data signals can be reliably transmitted over greater distances along a long-haul fiber optic dispersive medium at even greater bit-rates and bandwidth.

摘要： A bidirectional chromatic dispersion system includes an optical circulator that includes four ports. A first port is coupled to a first optical transmission medium and a third port is coupled to the second optical transmission medium. A first dispersion compensating grating is coupled to a second port, and a second dispersion compensating grating is coupled to a fourth port. The first dispersion compensating grating is operative to reflect wavelengths in a first optical band, and the second dispersion compensating grating is operative to reflect wavelengths in a second optical band. The first dispersion compensating grating is substantially transparent to wavelengths in the second optical band, and the second dispersion compensating grating is substantially transparent to wavelengths in the first optical band. The first dispersion compensating grating is coupled to the second port of the optical circulator through the second dispersion compensating grating and a dispersion compensating fiber. Similarly, the second dispersion compensating grating is coupled to the fourth port through the first dispersion compensating grating and the dispersion compensating grating.

摘要： A fiber optic communications link having PMD characterization across multiple optical channels to identify PMD problems. The communications link has adaptive PMD controls employed along the optical link, whereby PMD phenomena detected by instruments, such as PMD compensators, are interpreted as being either attributable to perturbation of fiber characteristics at large, or by failure of PMD equipment along the link. The present invention avoids taking unnecessary control or maintenance actions upon PMD related controllers and compensators. PMD notifications from various PMD compensators are correlated to identify which portion of the link has undergone a change in polarization characteristics to further identify PMD related errors and problems.
