Reduction of stimulated Brillouin backscattering (SBS) in optical transmission systems |
摘要 |
The invention reduces stimulated Brillouin backscattering (SBS) in optical transmission systems by broadening the frequency spectrum of transmitted signals. In particular, the invention utilises the non-linear effects of self phase modulation (SPM) or cross-phase modulation (XPM) to counteract Brillouin scattering. Figure 1 shows an optical transmission link having a terminal TT, fibre LWF, amplifier AMP and receiving terminal TR. A plurality of laser-modulator devices LM1-LMn receive binary data signals DS1-DSn which modulate carrier signals of different wavelength. To further reduce the effects of Brillouin scattering, a plurality of amplitude modulated (AM) pump signals from sources PL1 -PLm may be fed into the fibre.
