    Abstract: Embodiments of present invention provide a method for checking integrity of a device selection process. The method includes placing multiple devices in a device tray that has multiple cells arranged in a matrix of M-rows and N-columns; separating the multiple devices into a first group and a second group; causing a machine to memorize locations of at least the first group; removing the second group from the device tray; after the removing, causing the machine to capture an image of devices remaining in the device tray and identify locations of the remaining devices based upon the image; comparing locations so identified with locations of the first group of devices memorized by the machine; and taking a corrective action when a discrepancy is found between the locations identified and locations memorized. An apparatus for performing the above method is also provided.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for implementing carrier suppressed data format on conventional OTDM modules is provided. Adaptive phase shifting of optical signals traversing one of the tributaries of an OTDM module is performed with feedback loop control. A tapped portion of the input carrier signal is phase modulated at a frequency fc, and is combined with a tapped portion of the output from the OTDM. A phase shifter controller fed with this combined signal photodetects and band-pass filters the signal around fc to extract the amplitude of the AC component of the envelope of the combined signal, which depends upon the phase difference between successive pulses of the OTDM output. This signal is used to control a phase shifter coupled along one of the tributaries of the OTDM to adjust the phase difference of the signals of the two tributaries so that carrier suppression results.

    Abstract: A tuning system for use in a receiver of an optical transmission system. The receiver includes a data channel transporting a data signal and a monitoring channel transporting a copy of the data signal. The tuning system includes a processing module for processing the copy of the data signal to generate a control signal conveying tuning information. This tuning information is used by the receiver to alter an operating point of the receiver on the data channel. The operating point of the receiver that is susceptible to be altered by the control signal is a decision threshold applied on the data signal to discriminate one binary value from another binary value on the data channel of the receiver. This approach allows, when required or desired, tuning of the system while the system is in service. This is possible since the tuning of the system is performed using the monitoring channel, and does not disturb nor corrupt the actual data being transported on the data channel.

    Abstract: A system for modifying an input optical signal by reducing its bandwidth and modifying its central wavelength has an optical circulator with at least three ports and at least two optical filters coupled to consecutive ports of the circulator. The first filter produces a predetermined reflected band off the input optical signal. The second filter produces a predetermined transmission band as a part of the reflected band. Either or both of the optical filters are tunable to shape and trim the input signal in a predetermined manner. A multi-channel and cascade configurations may be formed. The system may serve e.g. as a tunable filter or as an add/drop module in WDM communication networks.
