    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, a compact transmitter is provided that can generate optical signals having different modulation formats depending on optical link requirements. Preferably, the transmitter includes a photonic integrated circuit having multiple lasers and modulators. A control circuit adjusts the drive signals supplied to the modulators such that optical signals having a desired modulation format may be output from the modulators. Thus, for example, the transmitter may be used to output optical signals having a modulation format suitable for long haul or submarine links, as well as for links having a shorter distance. Moreover, the same photonic integrated circuit may supply optical signals with different modulation formats, such that, for example, those optical signals that are dropped along a link, and thus travel a shorter distance, may have a first modulation format, while other optical signals that travel the entire length of the link may have a second modulation format that is more suited for longer distances.

    摘要: Consistent with the present disclosure, based on system requirements or in response to an increase in optical signal-to-noise level of an optical channel, such as a WDM channel, additional FEC bits are inserted into and replace selected data payload bits in each frame carried by the channel. The replaced data payload bits may then be transmitted in subsequent frames on the same channel. As a result, the transmitted frames have a reduced data payload rate, but a higher coding gain. Alternatively, the replaced data payload bits may be included in frames transmitted on another optical channel. In that case, the frames carried by the two channels typically have the same bit length or number of bits and may thus be compliant with the frame length requirements of G.709, for example. Preferably, the number of coding bits may be changed dynamically to obtain different coding gains.
