Patent GB-2306245-A (GB)
Title: Optical fibre amplifier
Inventor: MOTOSHIMA KUNIAKI
IPC: H01S3/094
Filed: 1996-09-10
Abstract: In an optical fibre amplifier in which a doped optical fibre 7 is pumped by a redundant arrangement of two coherent light sources 1,2 such as laser diodes, the output of the light sources being coupled to the fibre by a coupler 4 and a wavelength multiplexer 5,6, at least one reflector 15,16 is used to prevent injection locking of the two sources and thus variation in the gain of the fibre. As shown, there are two reflectors located between the coupler 4 and respective light sources 1,2, each reflector having a reflectance peak at a different wavelength. The wavelengths of the light sources are thereby locked to the wavelengths of the reflectance peaks. Alternatively, the reflectors may be located between the coupler 4 and respective wavelength multiplexers 5,6 or between the coupler and one of the wavelength multiplexers. If the two sources emit light with different polarisation states, a single reflector having a reflectance peak which varies with polarisation may be used. Alternative locations for the reflector(s) are at the input 9,12 or output 11,14 of the fibre amplifier. The reflector may be constituted by a fibre grating. Arrangements involving feedback of the pump light in order to stabilise the output of the light sources are described.

Title: Sequential differential ignition of series operated arc lamps
Inventor: ZAWISLAK ROBERT M
IPC: H05B41/231
Filed: 1995-09-28
Abstract: A series of arc lamps (6-8) each has an inductor connected in series with its anode which is field coupled to a similar inductor (16) connected to its cathode, the inductors being connected in series with each other through the inductors between an arc lamp power supply and a high current modulator for illuminating the arc lamps, once ignited. Ignition takes place serially from a single source of high voltage (25) through respective charging networks, the charge time of each network being different from the others so as to successively create arcs in the arc lamps in sequence. The high voltage used for initial ignition of the arc lamps is differentially balanced to ground by means of the coils (17, 16) in series with the cathode and anode respectively of each arc lamp. The coils are poled so that the build-up of field in each coupled pair oppose each other, thereby rendering the coils invisible to the high current modulation during illumination of the arc lamps.

Title: Communication systems and networks
Inventor: BOWATER RONALD JOHN
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1996-11-19
Abstract: A method is provided for determining which of a plurality of telephone networks 1, 2, 3 should be used to establish a communication channel between two communication systems S1, S2, or for determining whether system S1 or S2 should establish the connection. The network 1,2 or 3 to be used may be determined according to which provides least cost routing, or according to factors such as bandwidth and reliability of the network lines, or the type of connection when both satellite and ground line providers are available. If a user in system S1 desires a connection to an addressee in system S2, it may be determined that the addressee in system S2 should instigate the establishment of a communication channel if system S1 has insufficient outgoing lines or bandwidth, or system S2 has insufficient incoming lines or bandwidth, or if tariffs are such that a call in the reverse direction from system S2 to system S1 would be cheaper. The determination of which system should instigate connection establishment (call setup direction) may be made by system S1 or S2 or by a third system (S3, Fig.6). Systems S1 and S2 may have computer telephony integration (CTI) with telephones connected to switches or PBX's 130, 230, and computer workstation terminals connected to servers 150, 250 with links to the Internet 160 (or to a corporate intranet) via which messages are exchanged when setting up a communication channel over a telephone network.

Title: Clock synchronization in data receivers
Inventor: BANHAM DOMINIC THOMAS PARFREY
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 1997-07-02
Abstract: In a receiver for recovering digital data accompanied by synchronisation information and carried by radio signals, the radio signals are down converted at 2 and applied to a demodulator 5, 6 which generate frequency error and timing error data in dependence upon the demodulated signal, the synchronisation information and a clock signal. These error data on lines 19, 21 are used by a tracking circuit 20 and an adaptive filter 16 to control the frequency of a clock oscillator 14 included in a frequency control loop. The clock signal is applied to a divider chain 17 to apply clock signals to the down-converter 2, an A/D converter 4, a digital demodulator 5 and a DQPSK demodulator 6. The output of demodulator 6 is applied to a Viterbi decoder 22 via a demultiplexer 22. The receiver is used in a digital audio broadcasting arrangement and employs an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation scheme in which the digital data is modulated onto a plurality of contemporaneously transmitted carrier frequency signals.
