    Abstract: A gas sensing system includes a signal generator including a wavelength tunable laser, the signal generator providing a first periodic signal and a second periodic signal, wherein the first periodic signal comprises a wavelength scanning signal and the second periodic signal comprises a modulation signal; an optical signal absorption path which is wavelength selective, wherein the generated signal covers at least one of the absorbance band; a signal detector that uses lock-in detection to detect a second harmonic of the second periodic signal after absorption, the signal detector further including a local reference generator, a multiplier, and a low pass filter; a local reference includes a first path (ref1) that outputs sinusoidal signal with frequency equals to that of the second signal in signal generator, and a second path (ref2) that outputs sinusoidal signal of two times ref1 frequency; and a local reference generator having a first phase shifter that is configurable from 0 to 2π and a second phase shifter that shifts 90-degree, wherein the first phase shifter is for an alignment of ref1 with the modulation signal and the second phase shifter provides 90-degree shifts for ref2 from ref1, wherein the first and second paths (ref1 and ref2) are selected by a switch, wherein the switch uses the first path during initialization and the second path for normal operation.

    Abstract: A method and system are described for providing hitless protection in a packet switched network having source nodes and destination nodes. The method includes enabling a working path and a protecting path between the source and destination nodes. The working path is non-overlapping with respect to the protecting path. The method further includes replicating traffic in a given one of the source nodes to generate replicated traffic. The method also includes forwarding the traffic and the replicated traffic through a working path and a protecting path, respectively, from the given one of the source nodes to a particular one of the destination nodes. The method additionally includes delivering a hitless-protected service in the particular one of the destination nodes by selecting traffic packets received from either the working path or the protecting path.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for variable rate control include determining a new communications rate in response to measured data traffic patterns. A receive change message is transmitted to a receiver that triggers the receiver to wait for an end of transmission (EoT) message and to set a new communications rate. A transmit change message is transmitted to a transmitter that triggers the transmitter to send the EoT message to the receiver, to set the new communications rate, and to send a start of transmission (SoT) message to the receiver before resuming data communications.

    Abstract: A method implemented in a transmission apparatus used in an optical fiber communications system for a polarization switched differential quaternary phase-shift keying (DQPSK) signal is disclosed. The method comprises splitting data into two or more data streams, inputting said two or more data streams to 1-bit DQPSK precoders to perform 1-bit DQPSK precoding, and multiplexing inphase outputs of the 1-bit DQPSK precoders to generate a first output; and multiplexing quadrature outputs of the 1-bit DQPSK precoders to generate a second output. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems also are disclosed.
