Abstract:
A multi direction variable transceiver including a transmitter comprising a subcarrier aggregator including at least one variable transmitter splitter and at least one variable transmitter coupler. The transceiver typically includes a receiver having at least one variable receiver splitter and at least one variable receiver coupler. In some examples, each of the transmitter and the receiver may include a controller for dynamically adjusting a splitting ratio for at least one of the variable receiver splitter, variable receiver coupler, variable transmission splitter and variable transmission coupler.
Abstract:
The invention uses a PRBS pattern generated by transmitter (serializer) as training. At the receiver side, following receiver outputs, a synchronous capturing module is used to capture multiple lanes simultaneously. The captured data is used to calculate the PRBS distance for different lanes. After the distances are obtained, the one with largest latency is used as a reference, to calculate the relative latency with each other lane. This relative latency is further used to calculate the number of shifts for Barrel Shifter and word shifter.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for communication using an optical transmission system having optical transmitters and receivers includes performing a low-density parity-check (LDPC) encoding; performing nonbinary pm-ary signaling, where p is a prime larger than 2; taking m p-ary symbols at a time and selecting a point from pm-ary signal constellation; after up-sampling and driving amplification, using coordinates of the pm-ary constellation as input of I/Q modulator x (y); combining two independent pm-ary streams corresponding to x and y-polarization states by a polarization beam combiner (PBS) and transmitting data over the optical transmission system.
Abstract:
A method for solving a cloud embedding problem includes first mapping virtual links over physical links followed by virtual nodes over physical nodes. The inventive method entails an efficient procedure, namely network followed by compute load balancing (NCLB), that first maps virtual links over physical links while balancing network resources, and finally, maps virtual nodes over physical nodes while balancing different types of computational resources.
Abstract:
An open path optical sensing system having an ultrasonic cleaner. The system includes at least one ultrasound transducer which is configured to propagate ultrasonic waves across exposed surfaces of optical components of the optical sensing system. The ultrasonic waves create tiny vibrations on the exposed surfaces of the optical components which clean the surfaces of environmental pollutants and prevent environmental pollutants from accumulating on the surface. The ultrasonic waves may have a frequency that is substantially different than the modulation frequency of a modulated laser light beam that is generated by a laser of the open path optical sensing system. The surfaces of a plurality of optical components may be cleaned by the ultrasonic waves of a single ultrasound transducer. A plurality of ultrasound transducers may propagate waves on a single optical component.

Abstract:
An optical communication system includes a digital signal processer coupled to the coherent receiver, said coherent receiver including a nonlinearity compensation module for compensating for nonlinear effects in fiber in the optical link for increasing capacity or transmission distance of the fiber, the nonlinearity compensation module includes a spectral slicing of the signal into bands, computing nonlinear interaction between the bands with parameters opposite to those of the fiber to reverse the non-linear effects in the fiber, and only certain nonlinear interactions between bands are considered thereby reducing complexity of the nonlinearity compensation.
Abstract:
Methods, structures and systems for generating different polarization multiplexed signals wherein the drivers of the modulators are generic while a software-controlled manager allows the carrying of any standard 10 G/40 G/100 G data while—at the same time—being adaptively adjustable according to specific link requirements and users' requests in both dispersion-managed and uncompensated links.

Abstract:
A packet switched communication system to support hitless protection includes a packet processor; a traffic manager with a buffer sized to compensate a maximum skew of each hitless path pair of a working path and a protecting path; and a hitless processor positioned between the packet processor and the traffic manager, wherein an interface between hitless processor and traffic manager has flow control to start or stop (XON/XOFF) traffic.
