Appl. No.:

09/124273

Inventors:

Zheng Wang - Middletown NJ

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04L 1226

US Classification:

370230, 370412, 370468

Abstract:

A method is provided for allocating bandwidth to a subscriber in a service provider domain that is part of a packet switched network such as the Internet, for example. In accordance with the method, a number of shares of bandwidth are assigned to the subscriber based on an agreement between the subscriber and a service provider. A subscriber identifier and the number of shares assigned thereto are distributed to the routers in the domain of the service provider. The routers will in turn allocate bandwidth to packets they receive based on the number of shares assigned to the subscriber transmitting or receiving the packet. The subscriber may include one or more different user terminals that aggregate traffic onto a single datastream. The shares assigned to the user may denote absolute amount of bandwidth, or alternatively, may denote a relative bandwidth allocation.

3593412, 35934132, 398135

Abstract:

A dual fiber optic amplifier uses a single pump source for two or more optical power amplifiers. The dual fiber optic amplifier includes a pump source that emits light, a pump splitter, a first optical power amplifier and a second optical power amplifier. The pump splitter splits the light emitted by the pump source into two or more portions. The first optical power amplifier includes an optical fiber input, an optical fiber output, and a doped fiber portion, wherein the first portion of light from the splitter is coupled into the optical fiber input of the first optical power amplifier. The second optical power amplifier includes an optical fiber input, an optical fiber output, and a doped fiber portion, wherein the second portion of light emitted from the splitter is coupled into the optical fiber input of the second optical power amplifier.

Abstract:

An integrated transceiver for achieving bi-directional communication along a single fiber-optic cable in a fiber-optic network. The transceiver includes an active part for transmit and receive portions of the transceiver. The active part includes a photo diode and a laser diode attached to a substrate. Bi-directional communication is achieved by using an optical circulator. The optical circulator may include components that limit back reflections into the active part of the transceiver. The optical circulator is attached to the substrate and connected optically to the active part.

US Classification:

385 11, 385 15, 359494

Abstract:

An optical pumping module for use in optical amplifiers in fiber-optic communication. The pump module integrates laser diodes and a polarization beam combiner (PBC). The laser diodes and PBC may be attached to a substrate. The laser diodes may be formed onto the substrate either monolithically or by attaching discrete components to the substrate. The PBC may include isolation to prevent reflections back into the laser diodes.

US Classification:

398 61

Abstract:

Erbium doped fiber amplifiers for dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) metro area optical networks may be configured as either high gain amplifiers or power amplifiers. The erbium doped fiber type, length, and pump power level are selected so that the shape of the gain spectra is approximately the same for single channel or multi-channel operation. In one embodiment, the same erbium doped fiber type and length is used for both power amplifiers and high gain amplifiers, reducing manufacturing costs.

Abstract:

System and techniques for reducing the polarization dependency of an optical component by combining the actions of a circulator and a polarization beam combiner to separate an optical signal into a plurality of orthogonally oriented polarization components; rotate at least one of the components so that the polarization orientation of the components are parallel; propagate the components through respective input ports of an optical component at substantially the same time; rotate at least one of a plurality of output components from the optical component so that the polarization orientation of the output components are orthogonal; and recombine the plurality of output components into an output optical signal.

International Classification:

H01S 4/00
H04B 10/12

US Classification:

3593373, 3593374

Abstract:

An optical amplifier utilizes two or more doped fiber segments or portions to achieve a lower noise figure and a higher saturation power than would be possible using any one of the doped fiber segments. Each doped fiber portion may be considered to be a doped fiber optical amplifier, and has a different doping level than each of the other doped fiber portions. Each such doped fiber portion has distinct amplitude gain and noise characteristics relative to each of the other doped fiber potions. The two or more doped fiber portions are coupled to each other in series and most often in a predefined order based on their relative amplitude gain, noise and saturation power characteristics.

Abstract:

A means for optically coupling a semiconductor laser to an optical fiber is disclosed. In one embodiment, a volume phase holographic element is disposed on a light-emitting surface of a semiconductor laser. The volume phase holographic element acts as an aberration-corrector for a lens that is disposed between the semiconductor laser and the optical fiber. In this way, an inexpensive lens that is not aberration free can be used. In some embodiments, the volume phase holographic element converts a Gaussian light beam emitted by the semiconductor laser into an annular beam that is more suitable for long distance transmission in multimode fibers.
