    摘要: A C- and/or L-band booster optical amplifier is utilized at the output of a semiconductor transmitter photonic integrated circuit (TxPIC) chip or the optical combined outputs of multiple semiconductor transmitter photonic integrated circuit (TxPIC) chips employed in an optical communication module, the deployment of integrated semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) on the TxPIC chips can be eliminated. This would reduce both the complexity in designing and fabricating these chips as well as reducing the power consumption of the TxPIC chips. The deployment of such a Tx booster optical amplifier would also take into consideration the nonlinear effects of difficult high loss single mode fiber (SMF) or other fiber type links by allowing a higher power per channel to be achieved compared to the case where channel amplification is attempted solely on the TxPIC chip.

    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, polarized optical signals having the same wavelength are modulated in response to ERZ drive signals, to thereby yield corresponding RZ optical signals. Each of the polarized RZ optical signals includes a plurality of RZ transitions wherein the power of the optical signal returns to zero or a minimal power between bits or symbols. The phase or timing of the ERZ drive signals, however, is controlled, so that the RZ transitions in one polarized optical signal remain interleaved with the RZ transitions of the other polarized optical signal. Alternatively, the RZ transitions of the two polarized optical signals may be controlled so that the two are temporally aligned with one another. Thus, the timing of the RZ transitions of one polarized optical signal relative to the other polarized optical signal may be adjusted to optimize system performance.
