OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND OPTICAL TRANSMISSION METHOD: abstract simplified (18025109)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18025109 Titled 'OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND OPTICAL TRANSMISSION METHOD'

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is an optical transmission system that includes multiple cores through which optical signals travel. The system has two optical repeating means: a first one that individually amplifies the optical signals using first multi-core optical amplification mediums, and a second one that collectively amplifies the optical signals using second multi-core optical amplification mediums. The first and second optical repeating means are positioned at a distance from each other, determined based on the transmissible distances of each repeating means.

Original Abstract Submitted

The optical transmission system of the present invention includes a multi-core transmission path which includes a plurality of cores, and in which optical signals propagate through the plurality of cores, a first optical repeating means for amplifying the optical signals by individually exciting first multi-core optical amplification mediums, and a second optical repeating means for amplifying the optical signals by collectively exciting second multi-core optical amplification mediums, wherein the first optical repeating means is positioned spaced apart from the second optical repeating means by a distance determined on the basis of either a first transmissible distance due to the first optical repeating means and a second transmissible distance due to the second optical repeating means.
