The theory and application of fiber loop reflectors, fabricated by forming a fiber loop between the output ports of a directional coupler, is described. The reflectivity of the loop is shown to depend upon the coupling characteristics of the coupler and on the degree of birefringence in the fiber loop. Measured loop. reflectivities, in terms of wavelength response, coupling ratio, and loop birefringence are shown to agree very well with theory. Two applications of the fiber reflector are briefly discussed; an all fiber laser and a duplex optical communications link using a single light source.

“…Recently bi-directional transmission over an individual single-mode fibre using lasers of similar wavelength has been reported [7,8]. Doubling the capacity of a single fibre using this optical technique has been made possible by the development and manufacture of cheap, stable, low-loss optical directional couplers [9,10,11].…”

Single-mode optical fibre systems presently being installed in the BT network are primarily operating at 140 Mbit/s and 1.3 μm wavelength. There is scope for increasing the information capacity of these installed systems by both electrical and optical techniques. Three feasible upgrade options will be discussed and results of experiments performed at British Telecom Research Laboratories (BTRL) presented. 1.A diet rich in fibre

“…The above condition can be expressed by -= mT, ν (2) where 1 is the link length, v is the group velocity of light in fiber, which is approximately 2 · 10 8 m/s, and m is an arbitrary integer. From (2) we obtain that the allowed frequencies are f = , m=l,2,3,...…”

“…In the case when the possible frequency deviation is not acceptable, and in a case of link with repeaters, we can trim the line length so to satisfy condition (2). This means that our fiber should exceed necessary line length for at most Δ1 which corresponds to the length that light passes through the fiber during the bit interval:…”

“…Bidirectional transmission is usually achieved by wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). Some authors propose using the same wavelengths for each direction of transmission with separation of signals going to and from terminal by directional couplers [1][2][3]. Such devices are usually simpler than devices for wavelength separation (e. g. using interference filters [4]) and often introduce less attenuation.…”

Bidirectional digital optical fiber system at the same wavelength over a single optical fiber, which provides that transmit pulses reflected back to receiver from adjacent directional coupler and/or connector fall between pulses from the far end, is theoretically considered and its feasibility is experimentaly confirmed. Such systems give better receiver sensitivity and require simpler couplers and connectors than similar systems whithout synchronisation. Necessary frequency and/or line length adjustments are investigated.
