    摘要: An optical coherent receiver includes an optical hybrid (OH) configured to mix signal and reference light, and two back-end optical ports. An optical equalizing network interconnects two 180° OH output ports with the two back-end optical ports so that each back-end optical port receives light from each of the two OH output ports. Optical signals from each of the two back-end optical ports are converted to electrical signals that are fed to a differential amplifier. Adjusting coupling ratios and/or optical delays in the optical equalizing network reduces an OSNR penalty of a lower-bandwidth differential amplifier.

    摘要: In conventional optical receivers the dynamic range is obtained by using variable gain amplifiers (VGA) with a fixed trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) gain. To overcome the SNR problems inherent in conventional receivers an improved optical receiver comprises an automatic gain control loop for generating at least one gain control signal for controlling gain of both the VGA and the TIA. Ideally, both the resistance and the gain of the TIA are controlled by a gain control signal.
