Abstract: Methods and apparatus for acoustic to optical communications. In one example, a method includes performing active optical measurements of modulation-based surface deformations at a surface of a body of water using an active optical receiver to produce modulation data, the modulation-based surface deformations being representative of a modulation of a modulated acoustic signal originating beneath the surface of the body of water, between instances of performing the active optical measurements of the modulation-based surface deformations, optically measuring surface conditions of the body of water to produce channel information, and based on the modulation data and the channel information, recovering data encoded in the modulation of the modulated acoustic signal.

Abstract: Optical receivers configured to demodulate phase modulated optical signals. In one example, an optical signal receiver includes an optical resonator configured to receive an arriving optical signal and to emit an output optical signal in response to receiving the arriving optical signal, the optical resonator being further configured to transform phase transitions corresponding to phase modulation of the arriving optical into intensity modulation of the output optical signal, an opto-electrical converter configured to convert the output optical signal into an electrical signal, a pulse detector configured to detect pulses in the electrical energy indicative of the phase transitions in the arriving optical signal, and a memory configured to record timing information associated with the pulses detected by the pulse detector.

Abstract: Optical transmitters configured to modulate optical signals with a path-dependent phase modulation scheme. In certain examples, an optical transmitter includes an optical source that emits a carrier waveform, a modulator configured to modulate the carrier waveform according to a path-dependent phase modulation scheme to produce a modulated optical signal, a mapping module configured to map a data payload to the path-dependent phase modulation scheme, each symbol in the path-dependent phase modulation scheme including a concatenation of at least one location bit and a path bit, the at least one location bit identifying an amount of a phase transition in the modulated optical signal and the path bit identifying a direction of the phase transition, and a pulse-shaping filter configured to control the modulator, based on an output from the mapping module, to impose the path-dependent phase modulation scheme on the carrier waveform to generate the modulated optical signal.

Abstract: Optical signal receivers and methods are provided that include an optical resonator that allows optical signal energy of multiple wavelengths to enter and accumulate inside the optical resonator. A portion of optical signal energy of each wavelength is emitted from the optical resonator at an output, and the individual wavelengths may be separated. A detector aligned with the output detects the emitted optical signal energy of at least one of the wavelengths. The detector is configured to detect disturbances to the emitted optical signal energy and determine a modulated characteristic in the received optical signal energy of the wavelength.

Abstract: An optical receiver and communication method receives an optical signal by an optical resonator to provide an intensity modulated signal indicative of a modulation of the optical signal. The intensity modulated signal is provided to a channel receiver of a plurality of channel receivers, and the channel receiver recovers from the intensity modulated signal a multipath version of a transmitted signal embedded in the modulation of the optical signal. The channel receiver's output is combined with an output of at least one other of the plurality of channel receivers to provide a combined output signal.

Abstract: Aspects are generally directed to optical signal receivers and methods. In one example, a receiver includes an optical resonator assembly configured to receive an optical signal at each of a plurality of optical resonators, each optical resonator configured to resonate optical signal energy at a corresponding frequency of the received optical signal, each optical resonator being tuned to a different corresponding frequency of the received optical signal, and each optical resonator being configured to output corresponding output optical signal energy. The receiver includes a detector assembly to detect the corresponding output optical signal energy from each optical resonator, and a signal processing circuit configured detect a frequency variation of the received optical signal based on the corresponding output optical signal energy from at least two of the plurality of optical resonators, and configured to generate a digital signal based on the frequency variation.

Abstract: Optical signal receivers and methods are provided that include multiple optical resonators, each of which receives a portion of an arriving optical signal. Various of the optical resonators are tuned or detuned from a carrier wavelength, and produce an intensity modulated output signal in response to modulation transitions in the arriving optical signal. A detector determines modulation transitions in the arriving optical signal by analyzing the intensity modulation output signals from the optical resonators.

Abstract: Aspects are generally directed to receivers and methods for actively demodulating optical signals. In one example, a receiver includes an optical resonator to receive an optical signal, the optical resonator including an active optical medium interposed between first and second semi-reflective surfaces, where the active optical medium is configured to accumulate resonant optical signal energy inside the optical resonator based on the received optical signal, the second semi-reflective surface is positioned to emit output optical signal energy, and the optical resonator is configured to disturb the output optical signal energy in response to a variation in the received optical signal. The receiver may further include a detector configured to detect the disturbance in the output optical signal energy, and a pump source coupled to the active optical medium to excite the active optical medium to generate an optical gain in the received optical signal.

Abstract: Optical signal receivers and methods are provided that include an optical resonator that allows an optical signal to enter and optical signal energy to accumulate at regions inside the optical resonator. A portion of optical signal energy is emitted from among various regions of the optical resonator, such that a combination of the emitted optical signal energy is disturbed when a phase transition occurs in the received optical signal. A detector aligned with the output detects the combined emitted optical signal energy and is configured to detect the disturbance and determine a characteristic of the phase transition in the received optical signal based upon the disturbance.
