摘要:
Polarization Dependent Effects (PDEs), including Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) and Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) imposed on optical signals conveyed through an optical link are compensated by processing an input signal in the electrical domain prior to transmission. A compensation function is derived that at least partially compensates the PDEs. The communications signal is then processed in the electrical domain using the compensation function to generate an electrical predistorted signal. The electrical predistorted signal is then used to modulate an optical source to generate a corresponding predistorted optical signal for transmission through the optical link. The PDEs of the optical link operate of the predistorted optical signal such at that substantially undistorted optical signal is received at a receiving end of the link.
摘要:
An electronic pre-distorter which generates distortions for input to a non-linear device is provided. The pre-distorter generates distortions using only non-magnetic circuit components. The distortions are complementary to distortions that are generated by the non-linear device and substantially cancel out. The reduction of distortion in the non-linear device improves the dynamic range of transmitters that the device is part of.

摘要:
A laser light generator includes an adder 12 which adds an optical frequency modulation signal Sm onto a d.c. voltage for driving a laser diode 10 for continuous laser oscillation, and applies the sum signal to the laser diode 10 to drive it. An light output from the laser diode 10 is introduced to an optical intensity controller 14 that is controlled by a control signal prepared by adjusting the optical frequency modulation signal Sm both in phase and in amplitude by a phase adjusting circuit 16 and an amplitude adjusting circuit 18. The optical intensity controller 14 may be an electroabsorption modulator that changes its transmissivity in response to an output voltage of the circuit 18. Quantities of adjustment by the circuits 16 and 18 are determined so that fluctuation in transmissivity of the optical intensity controller 14 suppresses intensity fluctuation of the light output of the laser diode 10.
