A temperature-controlled flexible optical circuit includes a length of pre-fabricated optical fiber secured to a partially flexible heater circuit for heating and maintaining the optical fiber at a substantially constant temperature. Heater circuit may also comprise temperature sensors.

The invention discloses a distributed optic fiber vibrating sensor which consists of a light source, a first coupler, an acoustic optic modulator, an Erbium-doped optic fiber amplifier, an optic filter, a three-port circulator, a first photoelectric detector, a second coupler, a second photoelectric detector, a high-pass filter, a frequency mixer, a function generator, a low-pass filter, a data acquisition card, a computer and a long-distance sensing optic fiber. The distributed optic fiber vibrating sensor has the beneficial technological effects of detecting the vibrating positions and the vibrating frequencies at the same time and having relatively high resolution ratio for signals.

Optical transmitter / receivers for use in a DWDM systems are provided. Transmission of data signals in a quadrature-return-to-zero (QRZ) format achieves a data transmission rate equal to eight times a base data rate, i.e., 80 Gbps over a 100 GHz channel if the base data rate is 10 Gbps, with high non-linear performance by setting the polarization state of the data bands such that non-linear effects induced by PMD are reduced. Additionally, a transmitter achieves a transmission data rate equal to 16 times the base data rate by sharpening the QRZ pulses and interleaving pulse-sharpened QRZ data signals in the time domain, further doubling the data rate. Using counterpropagation in the transmitter, carrier signals and data signals traverse the same length of fiber, reducing fringing effects in the transmitter. Related techniques enhance reception and detection of data at high data rates. A local pulse-sharpened carrier is mixed with a QRZ data signal at a detector reducing amplification noise by a factor of two. A bi-directional Erbium-doped fiber amplifier is used to amplify a carrier signal while limiting fringing effects by sending carrier and data signals along equal optical path lengths. Non-linear effects are reduced by transmitting carrier signals in an othogonal polarization state with respect to data signals, and PMD phase noise effects are compensated for in both single channel and DWDM multi-channel systems by using delay management.

A system and method for optimizing an optical RF photonic link system is presented. The system comprises a modulator subsystem in which nonlinear response is compensated by an envelope precompensation method and employs an optical filter to suppress optical carriers and extract modulated sidebands, an optical amplifier, and an array of photodetectors, each having a plurality of pairs of diodes. The modulator subsystem performs optical filtering on the signal, the signal is amplified by the optical amplifier and sent to the array of photodetectors. The optical amplifier can be an erbium doped fiber amplifier, or a phase sensitive amplifier. The optical power can be delivered to each diode of the array of photodetectors via a photonic integrated circuit.
