    摘要: An optical receiver adapted to process an optical duobinary signal received over a transmission link in an optical communication system. In one embodiment, the receiver has an optical-to-electrical signal converter coupled to a decoder. The decoder processes an electrical signal generated by the converter to generate a bit sequence corresponding to the optical signal. To generate a bit value, the decoder integrates the electrical signal using a sampling window and compares the integration result with a decision threshold value. In one configuration, the width of the sampling window and the decision threshold value are selected based on the eye diagram and noise distribution function, respectively, corresponding to the optical signal. Advantageously, embodiments of the present invention improve overall back-to-back (i.e., source-to-destination) system performance, e.g., by improving dispersion tolerance and/or reducing optical power corresponding to a selected bit error rate value.

    摘要: Pulses of signals in the terahertz region are generated using an apparatus made up of a mode-locked semiconductor laser diode with a short duty cycle that is optically coupled to a biased Auston switch. The output from the mode-locked semiconductor laser diode may first be supplied to a pulse compressor, and the resulting compressed pulses supplied to the Auston switch. Preferably, the mode-locking of the semiconductor laser diode is controllable, i.e., it is an active mode-locking semiconductor laser, so that the phase of the output optical signal from the laser is locked to the phase of an input control signal.

    摘要: The present invention generally relates to the field of optical transmission and particularly to a method and an apparatus for controlling the optical power of an optical transmission signal in a wavelength division multiplex optical transmission system (WDM system). The optical power of a control channel is controlled to keep the total optical power of the optical transmission signal constant. The present invention avoids the deleterious effects of stimulated Brillouin Scattering by spreading the power density spectrum of the optical control signal.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for data recovery in optical transmission systems include parallel detection subcircuits for determining output values of sequentially provided optical data bits such that sequentially provided optical data bits are alternately processed by respective ones of the parallel detection subcircuits. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, clock values to be used for timing provided to the first parallel detection subcircuit are 180° out of phase with clock values provided to the second parallel detection subcircuit, such that the first parallel detection subcircuit and the second parallel detection subcircuit alternately process input optical data bits according to odd valued clock signals and even valued clock signals. Furthermore, the outputs of the parallel detection subcircuits are connected crosswise to provide control signals for their parallel counterparts. In principle, various decisions are made using decision circuits and desired output values are selected based on the previously decided bits.

    摘要: A method for reducing intra-channel, non-linear distortions of an optical signal resulting from non-linear fiber propagation includes applying a polarization mode dispersion (PMD) pre-distortion to an optical signal such that the PMD pre-distortion produces two replica signals of the optical signal spaced by a differential group delay (DGD). The replica signals are adapted for transmission via an optical fiber. The DGD spacing is selected to reduce intra-channel, non-linear distortions imparted by the optical fiber.

    摘要: An optical receiver adapted to apply multiple-sampling processing to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal generated based on heterodyne detection of an optical communication signal. In one embodiment, the receiver has an optical-to-electrical signal converter coupled to a signal decoder adapted to process the IF signal generated by the converter to generate a bit sequence corresponding to the optical communication signal. To generate a bit value, the signal decoder first obtains two or more sample-bit values by sampling the IF signal two or more times per signaling interval. The decoder then applies a logical function to the sample-bit values, which produces the corresponding bit value for the bit sequence. Due to the multiple-sampling processing, a receiver of the invention does not require the time-consuming fine wavelength tuning of its local oscillator, which advantageously reduces the channel switching time achieved in the receiver compared to that in prior-art heterodyne receivers.
