Patent number: 6417963Abstract: A tellurite glass as a glass material of optical fiber and optical waveguide has a composition of 0<Bi2O3≦20 (mole %), 0≦Na2O≦35 (mole %), 0≦ZnO≦35 (mole %), and 55≦TeO2≦90 (mole %). The tellurite glass allows an optical amplifier and a laser device that have broadband and low-noise characteristics. In a splicing structure of non silica-based optical fiber (as a first fiber) and a silica-based optical fiber (as a second fiber), optical axes of the first and second optical fibers are held at different angles &thgr;1 and &thgr;2 (&thgr;1≠&thgr;2) respectively from a vertical axis of a boundary surface between their spliced ends, and a relationship between the angles &thgr;1 and &thgr;2 satisfies Snell's law represented by an equation of sin &thgr;1/sin &thgr;2=n2/n1 (where n1 is a refractive index of the first optical fiber and n2 is a refractive index of the second optical fiber) at the time of splicing the first and second optical fibers.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2001Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Yasutake Ohishi, Atsushi Mori, Makoto Yamada, Hirotaka Ono, Terutoshi Kanamori, Toshiyuki Shimada

Patent number: 6236496Abstract: An optical amplifier includes an erbium doped fiber of which at least one of a core part and a clad part is doped with erbium, excitation light sources or exciting the optical fiber, optical means for inputting excitation light from the excitation light source and signal light to the Er-doped fiber, and an optical isolator.

Patent number: 4785405Abstract: The power system stabilizer is provided at an individual power system to be separated due to an accident cutting off a link line which interconnects a number of power systems to form a large-scale power system. The power systems include power stations such as power plants and transformer substations. A simplified arithmetic processing unit of the stabilizer performs an arithmetic processing by a simple linear equation using an output frequency of a representative power station belonging to the separated power system immediately after the accident has been cleared, so that a total load drop of the separated power system can be assumed. Based on the assumption amount, balance control of demand and supply in the separated system is made.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1987Date of Patent: November 15, 1988Assignees: Chubu Electric Power Company, Inc., Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Taizo Hasegawa, Hirotaka Ono, Isao Koda, Tadahiro Gouda, Hideharu Oshida, Toshiharu Narita
