52 results about "Modal dispersion" patented technology

Modal dispersion is a distortion mechanism occurring in multimode fibers and other waveguides, in which the signal is spread in time because the propagation velocity of the optical signal is not the same for all modes. Other names for this phenomenon include multimode distortion, multimode dispersion, modal distortion, intermodal distortion, intermodal dispersion, and intermodal delay distortion.

Multimode Optical Fibers

A multimode optical fiber has an equivalent modal dispersion value (DMDinner&outer) of less than 0.11 ps / m for (Δλmax×D)>0.07 ps / m as measured on a modified DMD graph. The modified DMD graph accounts for chromatic dispersion to ensure that the multimode optical fiber has a calculated effective bandwidth EBc greater than 6000 MHz-km when used with multimode transverse sources.

In an optical transmission path including multimode optical fibers, modal dispersion is reduced so that signal light can be transmitted at high speed and across a broad band, at low-cost and over a long distance. To reduce modal dispersion, when the transmission path is constructed by coupling a plurality of multimode optical fibers, a length ratio for the multimode optical fibers that obtains the maximum band of the optical transmission path is determined, and the multimode optical fibers are coupled according to this length ratio.

The invention discloses an ultra-miniature broadband polarization beam splitter based on two-slit interference. A medium thin film covers a metal two-slit structure; when an incident light irradiates the metal two-slit structure from the back, each slit is capable of activating a TM mode and a TE mode supported by an air-medium-metal composite waveguide; the total field intensity of the waveguide mode in each direction is the coherent superposition of the separately activated modes of two slits; because two slits are different in width, the interference state in the opposite direction can be opposite and the oriented activation of the waveguide mode can be realized; further, the composite waveguide has great modal dispersion, two polarization modes perpendicular to each other can be propagated along the opposite direction and the polarization beam splitting is realized.

An optical fiber for reducing modal dispersion and increasing both travel distance and transmission speed. A core center is formed in the core of the optical fiber. The core center is doped with impurities, is hollow, or is pulled at a lower temperature to increase diffraction of the core center. The core center discriminates the low order modes such that only the high order modes are present in the optical fiber. Because the low order modes are absorbed or otherwise discriminated against, the range of propagation constants is reduced and modal dispersion is likewise reduced. High order modes can be launched in the optical fiber using a lens whose center portion is obscured or by using a diffractive lens to couple a source to the optical fiber.

Multimode optical fiber systems with adjustable chromatic modal dispersion compensation

Multimode optical fiber systems with adjustable chromatic modal dispersion compensation are disclosed, wherein the system includes a VCSEL light source and primary and secondary optically coupled multimode optical fibers. Because the VCSEL light source has a wavelength spectrum that radially varies, its use with the primary multimode optical fiber creates chromatic modal dispersion that reduces bandwidth. The compensating multimode optical fiber is designed to have a difference in alpha parameter relative to the primary multimode optical fiber of −0.1≦Δα≦−0.9. This serves to create a modal delay opposite to the chromatic modal dispersion. The compensation is achieved by using a select length of the compensating multimode optical fiber optically coupled to an output end of the primary multimode optical fiber. The compensating multimode optical fiber can be configured to be bend insensitive.

Covert acoustic communications through solid propagation channels using spread spectrum coding and adaptive channel pre-distortion

Covert acoustic communications (CAC) through solid propagation channels that connect node pairs is achieved by encoding signals using spread spectrum coding techniques that position the encoded signal at a center frequency fc within a narrow frequency bandwidth BWNB in which the amplitude of the channel response H(f) between each node pair is relatively high. The channel response H(f), bandwidth BWNB and center frequency fc, and accordingly the signal data rate will adapt for each node pair and possibly each side of the node pair. A pre-distortion filter 1 / H(f) pre-distorts the encoded signal over bandwidth BWNB to compensate for material and modal dispersion and multipath between the node pair. This technique avoids the problems associated with frequency dependent attenuation of the continuous solid path and allows for simultaneous transmission and reception of signals among the multiple node pairs.
