A method and system is disclosed for making timing alignment for a data transmission system, the method comprising providing a reference clock signal with a first frequency to a multiplexer through a phase shifter, generating a multiplexed signal with a second frequency by the multiplexer, wherein the second frequency follows the first frequency and is higher than the first frequency by a predetermined proportion, sending the multiplexed signal to a modulator, and phase shifting the reference clock signal by the phase shifter before the reference clock signal is provided to the multiplexer, wherein a timing of the multiplexed signal at the second frequency level can be adjusted by adjusting a timing of the reference clock signal at the lower first frequency level.

摘要:
A system and method for transmitting data modulated spectrally enriched optical pulses with a frequency chirp via an error free propagation region of an optical fiber, in which spectrum of optical pulses gradually depletes from the spectrum that is substantially wider than the spectrum of Fourier-transform limit at an input of the error-free propagation region and becomes comparable to the Fourier-transform limit at an output of this region. The gradual depletion of the spectrum is achieved by utilizing a frequency chirp converter having a dispersion sign opposite to a dispersion sign of the optical fiber.

A multichannel WDM transmission system incorporates a plurality of WDM optical sources with stabilized wavelengths and light intensity. Efficient stabilization of these characteristics is achieved by modulation of WDM sources by distinguishing low frequency electrical signals in a range between 1 and 4 kHz and modulation depth in a range between 1% and 5% that are used as WDM source identifiers. After the modulated outputs of the WDM sources are multiplexed and filtered, a Fourier transform of total light intensity may be obtained. Digital feedbacks provide stabilization of both the wavelength and light intensity of each WDM optical source.

Ferroelectric materials are disclosed as reversible holographic recording media (25) for use in two-photon recording systems. The ferroelectric materials disclosed herein provide long-lived electronic states intermediate the ferroelectric material's valence and conduction bands. These intermediate states have a sufficiently long life (on the order of 1 to 100 milliseconds) that low-power continuous wave ("cw") lasers (1) can be used to record interference patterns on them. Thus, two-photon holographic recording systems are also disclosed which do not require high-power, short pulse length, mode-locked or Q-switched lasers. Rather, the disclosed holographic recording systems employ visible and near IR cw lasers such as diode lasers. The disclosed two-photon holographic recording systems provide for absorption of a first photon which excites electrons of holographic recording media to an intermediate state. Thereafter, upon absorption of a second photon, the electrons are promoted to the media's conduction band where they are arranged according to the interference pattern provided by the recording system.

Rare earth doped ferroelectric materials are disclosed as reversible holographic recording medium (25) for use in two-photon recording systems. Such rare earth elements provide long-lived electronic states intermediate the ferroelectric material's valence and conduction bands. In some cases, these rare earth intermediate states have a sufficiently long life that low-power continuous wave ("cw") lasers (1) can be used to record interference patterns on them. Thus, two-photon holographic recording systems are also disclosed which do not require high-power, short pulse length, mode-locked or Q-switched lasers. Rather, the disclosed holographic recording systems employ cw lasers such as diode lasers. The rare earth dopants include praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, and thulium. These dopants provide ions having 4f excited states that give rise to absorptions in the near infra-red and visible spectral regions and typically have lifetimes on the order of 0.1 to 1 milliseconds.The disclosed two-photon holographic recording systems provide for absoption of a first photon which excites electrons of a holographic recording medium to a rare-earth intermediate state. Thereafter, upon absorption of a second photon, the electrons are promoted to the medium's conduction band where they are arranged according to the interference pattern provided by the recording system.
