  • Optical system for transmitting data in soliton format
    Patent number: 6342962
    Abstract: A system for transmitting signals in the form of soliton pulses over long distances using an optical conductor minimizes distortion of the transmitted soliton pulses using, in combination, a phase modulator to prevent temporal jitter of the soliton pulses and a set of filters of the type in which the frequency varies with the location of the filter or a set of saturable absorbent components to prevent deterioration of the signal to noise ratio of the pulses. Applications of the system include transoceanic optical communications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 1997
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2002
    Assignee: Alcatel Submarine Networks
    Inventors: Jean-François Marcerou, Elisabeth Brun-Maunand
