    摘要: A method for optical and electrical signal processing of a multi-heterodyne signal generated by a multi-mode semi-conductor laser, for a system comprising two laser sources and an sample interaction unit. At least the beam of one of the laser passes through said sample interaction unit before being combined on a detector. The first laser is tuned (40=>42) by an amount keeping the tuning result within the available detector bandwidth (55). Then the second laser is roughly tuned by the same amount as the tuning of the first laser to bring back the signal to the vicinity (48) of the original place in the RF-domain and within the bandwidth (55) of the detector. The tuning steps are repeated with different value of mode spacing for reconstructing the sample spectrum and provide a high resolution image of the dip (41) absorption line (40).

    摘要: An apparatus and method are provided for receiving an optical signal having an optical carrier component and at least one information-bearing optical sideband. In general, an optical filter arrangement (110) is used to separate the optical carrier component from the information-bearing optical sideband. First and second optical splitters (126, 128) divide the optical power in the optical carrier and the optical sideband, respectively, into corresponding sub-components. The sub-components of the optical carrier have substantially orthogonal polarisation states, which is an optional characteristic of the sideband sub-components. First and second optical coupling devices (142, 144) respectively each combine one of the optical carrier sub-components with a corresponding one of the optical sideband sub-components. Optical detectors (158, 160) detect the outputs of the combiners (142, 144). The arrangement is able to achieve a number of the benefits of coherent optical heterodyne receivers, particularly when used in combination with advanced coding and modulation methods, while avoiding the need, and associated complexity, of providing an optical oscillator at the receiver.
