    Abstract: A skew compensation system for a coherent optical communication network includes a transmitter modulator having a first driver input for receiving a first signal from a first channel, a second driver input for receiving a second signal from a second channel, a source input for receiving a continuous wave source signal, and a modulation output in communication with an optical transport medium of the network. The system further includes a tunable delay line disposed between the second channel and the second driver input for inserting a pre-determined training sequence onto the second signal prior to the second driver input, and a processor for determining a skew amount between the second signal at the second driver input and the first signal at the first driver input, calculating a pre-compensation value corresponding to the skew amount, and reducing the skew amount at the modulation output according to the pre-compensation value.

    Abstract: An interface device for communicatively coupling a first communication medium and a second communication medium includes a radio frequency (RF) processor and a frequency shifting subsystem. The RF processor is configured to receive a first data signal from the first communication medium and convert the first data signal to a plurality of first internal RF signals having a common center frequency. The frequency shifting subsystem is configured to shift the plurality of first internal RF signals having the common center frequency to respective first external RF signals having different respective center frequencies, for transmission on the second communication medium. The second communication medium may be a coaxial electrical cable.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for network communications to reduce optical beat interference (OBI) in upstream communications are described. For example, a fiber node may provide a narrow band seed source to injection lock upstream laser diodes. Therefore, upstream communications from each injection locked laser diode may primarily include the wavelength associated with each seed source. The seed sources may be unique to each end device and configured to minimize OBI. That is, the upstream laser diodes may be generic, but the received seed source may enable upstream communications at varying wavelengths. The fiber node may provide each seed source by filtering (e.g., by a grating filter) a broadband light source.
