  • Patent number: 6856736
    Abstract: An optical-waveguide cable which is distinguished by a dispersion that avoids non-linearities in conjunction with a relatively low attenuation comprises at least one first section (a), which has fibers of a first type (H) which are designed as high-level fiber, and at least one second section (b), which has fibers of a second type (N) which are designed as low-level fiber, the fibers of the first type (H) being connected to the fibers of the second type (N) at at least one transition point (U) between the first and second sections (a, b), and the fibers of the first type (H) having a larger mode field diameter and a higher dispersion than the fibers of the second type (N).

  • Publication number: 20030138211
    Abstract: A transparent elastomer (e.g. silicon rubber) is used as an immersion agent (10) for durable and low-attenuation connection of an optical waveguide (2) to the conductive structures of an optical component (6). The matrix of said elastomer contains a non-cross-linked proportion of a liquid phase (e.g. silicon softeners). The same kind of immersion agent (10) is used in the coupling system. The distance between the end face of the optical waveguide (2) and the coupling surface of the component (6) ranges from approximately 2 &mgr;m to 20 &mgr;m. The volume of the immersion agent (10) present at the point of coupling (8) is less than 5 &mgr;l.

  • Patent number: 4331379
    Abstract: A strand element for an optical cable which strand element has several light waveguide fibers for transmission of light waves received in a protective casing which surrounds the fibers and has an internal interior diameter which is larger than the exterior diameter of a hypothetical cylinder which surrounds the fibers characterized by each of the fibers being surrounded by a soft elastic material and being stranded with one another, and the space between the stranded optical fibers and the protective casing, which is capable of resistance, being filled with an easily shapeable filling compound which remains very soft and which displays no tendencies towards aging, melting or freezing.

  • Patent number: 4105092
    Abstract: A drive mechanism lubricating system which includes a lubricating medium storage tank and an oil reservoir arranged at the drive mechanism for accommodating a predetermined quantity of lubricating medium. A first pump is arranged at the drive mechanism for constantly replenishing the oil reservoir with a supply of lubricating medium to maintain a predetermined quantity therein during an operation of the drive mechanism. A second pump, having a higher conveying power than the first pump, is arranged at the drive mechanism and operatively connects the oil reservoir with the storage tank for conveying excess lubricating medium from the reservoir to the storage tank.

  • Patent number: 3949318
    Abstract: An optical intermediate amplifier intended for a system of communications transmission by means of light waves through optical wave guides employs an optical amplifier for amplifying the light waves on the laser principle. The amplifier is provided with rectangular cross sectional areas traversed by the light waves which correspond in size with the cross-sectional areas of the core zones of the wave guides with which the amplifier is serially coupled, the rectangular cross sectional areas having heights of 0.1 to 10 .mu.m and widths of 100 to 300 .mu.m.

  • Patent number: 3949315
    Abstract: An intermediate amplifier for a transmission system intended for communications transmission applications using light waves in optical wave guides employs an optical amplifier for amplifying the light waves on the laser principle, wherein an optical filter is provided to restrict the frequency band of the optical amplifier to the frequency band of the pulses being transmitted. The filter comprises a dielectric multi-layer system arranged upon an inclined surface of the optical amplifier through which the signal light passes in one embodiment. In another embodiment the filter is a zone of the output wave guide of the amplifier which has an absorption characteristic outside of the frequency band of the light pulses which are to be transmitted.
