Abstract:
An optical telecommunications system, wherein a plurality of individual optical pulses used to carry out digital or analog telecommunication each have a different light frequency, the optical telecommunication system comprising:an optical fiber;a frequency-dividing optical component for dividing the plurality of individual optical pulses on a basis of the different light frequencies; andan areal arranged as a delay element and positioned according to one of an alignment in which the areal is tilted with respect to a direction of incidence of the optical pulses and an alignment in which the areal is curved with respect to the optical pulses, wherein the plurality of individual optical pulses are carried by the optical fiber and are separated by the frequency-dividing optical component, so that the plurality of individual optical pulses are parellely imaged on the areal to enable further processing to take place.
