Abstract:
A laser arrangement in an optical communication system has a semiconductor laser (1) which includes an optical waveguide (4) whose end surfaces (5,8) have reflection-inhibiting coatings. The end surfaces (5, 8) are connected to a respective first connection (7, 10) of a first (2) and a second (3) directional coupler switch. Each of the directional coupler switches (2,3) have a second connection (13, 14), which is provided with mirrors (15, 16), and a third connection (11, 12), which is connected to a respective optical fibre (17, 18) in the communication system. In a receiving and amplifying state, an incoming light signal (P1) is coupled by the first coupler switch (2) to the laser diode (1), where the signal is amplified by a drive current (I) and detected (24). The amplified signal (P2) is coupled to the outgoing fibre (18) by the second coupler switch (3). In a light generating state, the first directional coupler switch (2) is in its cross state and the second directional coupler switch (3) is in an intermediate state, between its two terminal states, so that the mirrors (15, 16) define a cavity which includes the laser diode (1). By modulating the drive current (I) around the lasering threshold, a signal can be transmitted on the outgoing fibre (18). Alternatively, the laser arrangement can be modulated with the aid of the directional coupler switches (2, 3) for the purpose of transmitting the signal.

Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for improving spectral efficiency of a communication system. The communication system can include a transmitter, a receiver and a communication link for communicating data between the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitter can employ a multi-carrier technique to transmit data to the receiver. The transmitter can generate a plurality of carrier signals using a receiver-side comb generator, one of which is sent to the transmitter as a pilot carrier signal combined with modulated carrier signals over an optical link. At the receiver the receiver-side comb generator uses the pilot carrier signal to generate a plurality of receiver-side carrier signals, which are used for detecting the modulated carrier signals. As the phase noise in the modulated carrier signals and the phase noise in the receiver-side carrier signals have the same characteristics, the phase noise is cancelled at the receiver, resulting in improved detection.
Abstract:
A single-core optical transceiver 1 is an optical transceiver for transmitting or receiving an optical signal through a single optical fiber 2. The single-core optical transceiver 1 has a light emitting device 13 for transmitting the optical signal and a light receiving device 12 for receiving the optical signal. The light emitting device 13 is an LED configured including a sapphire substrate 13b arranged on a light receiving surface 12a of the light receiving device 12 so as to be coaxial with the light receiving surface 12a, and a nitride semiconductor layer 13a laid on the sapphire substrate 13b. Even with the light emitting device 13 being arranged on the light receiving surface 12a of the light receiving device 12, the optical signal from the optical fiber 2 can be received on the entire area of the light receiving surface 12a, so as to adequately improve the light sensitivity.
