Title:
OPTICAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND DEVICE SUPPLYING EXCITATION LIGHT FOR OPTICAL AMPLIFICATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/097074
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide: a device that supplies, respectively to optical fiber amplifiers each corresponding to a plurality of wavelength bands, highly reliable excitation light for which wavelength dependency has been taken into consideration; and an optical communication device which uses said device. [Solution] An equal branching optical system (301), to which a first excitation light beam (P1) and a second excitation light beam (P2) are input, generates a plurality of equally branched light beams (P12). An unequal branching optical system (401), to which a third excitation light beam (Padd) is input, generates a plurality of unequally branched light beams (Pm, Pn). The equally branched light beams (P12) and the first unequally branched light beam (Pm) are input to a first equal branching coupler (302), which outputs output branched light beams (P12m) as excitation light for optical fiber amplifiers (100, 200) for a first wavelength band. The equally branched light beams (P12) and the second unequally branched light beam (Pn) are input to a second equal branching coupler (303), which outputs output branched light beams (P12n) as excitation light for optical fiber amplifiers (101, 201) for a second wavelength band.
