Abstract

An optical signal repeater where an upstream modulator is configured to generate an optical upstream output signal by modulating an optical carrier signal, and to transmit the optical upstream output signal to an upstream fibre-optic output port. A downstream modulator is also configured to generate an optical downstream output signal by modulating an optical carrier signal and to transmit the optical downstream output signal to a downstream fibre-optic output port. By ensuring that the wavelengths of the optical carrier signals are equal or substantially equal, the wavelength drift in the upstream direction can be kept equal to the drift in the downstream direction. These repeaters can be used for time and frequency synchronization in long-distance fibre-optic networks.

Abstract

The present invention concerns a method for modifying a fiber network of a fiber web, typically made of a cellulose-based pulp, in order to increase the drying shrinkage as well as boost the cross-machine direction (CD) extensibility of the thus prepared fiber product. The method includes the steps of imposing a three-dimensional pattern in the wet fiber web, and drying the web using evaporative drying while allowing the web to shrink without major restraints. The pattern is imposed on the web in the forming section or after the forming section, before evaporative drying, while utilizing the wet elongation of the web for the shapes of the pattern, thereby not affecting the width of the wet web. The invention also concerns the formed fiber product having an increased CD extensibility.
