    摘要: This invention generally relates to an optical filter for a fiber optic communication system. A coupled multi-cavity optical filter may be used, following a directly modulated laser source, and converts a partially frequency modulated signal into a substantially amplitude modulated signal. The optical filter may compensate for the dispersion in the fiber optic transmission medium and may also lock the wavelength of the laser source.

    摘要: This invention provides a system that combines a wavelength multiplexer with an FM discriminator for chirp reduction and wavelength locker in a filter to produce a wavelength division multiplexed signal with reduced chirp. A partially frequency modulation laser signal is converted into a substantially amplitude modulation laser signal. This conversion increases the extinction ratio of the input signal and further reduces the chirp. A wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) method is used for transmitting high capacity information through fiber optics systems where digital information is carried on separate wavelengths through the same fiber. Separate transmitters normally generate their respective signals that are transmitted at different wavelengths. These signals are then combined using a wavelength multiplexer to transmit the high capacity information through the fiber optic system. Various technologies can be used to multiplex the signals such as, for example, thin film filters, or arrayed waveguide gratings. In a WDM system, a wavelength locker may also be used that fixes the center wavelength of a transmitter to a reference. Wavelength lockers may include etalons or fiber gratings, either of which provides a reference wavelength. A control circuit typically compares the wavelength of the transmitter to the reference. An error signal adjusts the transmitter format wavelength by varying temperature or by other means to keep it locked to the reference wavelength.

    摘要: A transmitter includes a frequency modulated laser. An optical spectrum reshaper (OSR) is positioned to receive the frequency modulated signal and has a transmission function effective to convert the frequency modulation to amplitude modulation. An optical fiber channel has a first end positioned to receive the filtered signal and a second end proximate a receiver. A filter is positioned between the second end and the receiver and has a peak transmission frequency thereof located on a transmission edge of the OSR, such as at a peak logarithmic derivative value of the transmission function of the optical spectrum reshaper. In some embodiments a first OSR is positioned to receive the frequency modulated signal and configure to output a filtered signal wherein high frequency portions are more attenuated than low frequency portions. A second OSR at the receiver attenuates the low frequency portions substantially more than the high frequency portions.

    摘要: An optical transmitter is disclosed wherein a modulating signal, such as an NRZ signal, encoding data is combined with a time derivative of the modulating signal and coupled to a directly modulated laser in order to generate artificial transient chirp in the output of the laser effective to substantially compensate for dispersion experienced by the output of the laser traveling through a dispersive medium such as an optical fiber. In some embodiments, the time derivative is added to the modulating signal only at the falling edges of the modulating signal.
