OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND OPTICAL TRANSMISSION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18025109 Titled 'OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND OPTICAL TRANSMISSION METHOD'
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is an optical transmission system that consists of multiple cores through which optical signals travel. The system includes two optical repeating means: the first one individually amplifies the optical signals by exciting specific multi-core optical amplification mediums, while the second one collectively amplifies the signals by exciting different multi-core optical amplification mediums. These two repeating means are positioned at a distance from each other, which is determined based on the transmissible distances of each repeating means. The purpose of this invention is to simplify the transmission of optical signals through multiple cores by utilizing different amplification methods.
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.
