There is provided a method for detecting optical signals comprising employing a photo diode to both directly detect a received optical signal and convert it into an electrical signal for recovery of data bit stream information in the received optical signal, the received optical signal being derived from a separation of two polarization multiplexed optical signals that were combined before being received.

Oil seed protein isolates, particularly canola protein isolate, are produced continuously from oil seed meals, preferably at a high purity level of at least about 100 wt % (N×6.25), by a process wherein oil seed protein is continuously extracted from oil seed meal, the resulting protein solution is continuously concentrated, preferably to a protein content of at least about 200 g/L, and the concentrated protein solution is continuously mixed with chilled water having a temperature below about 15° C. to form protein micellar, which are settled in the settling vessel to provide a protein micellar mass (PMM) while supernatant overflows the vessel. The PMM, when accumulated to a desired degree, may be separated from supernatant and dried. The supernatant may be processed to recover additional oil seed protein isolate.

An apparatus includes a generator for obtaining at least two lightwave carriers from a single lightwave source, at least two modulators for selectively varying the lightwave carriers according to respective data signals; and a coupler for combining the modulated lightwave carriers for optical transmission. The generator can be one of an optical carrier suppression or phase modulation. The apparatus can employ a filter for separating the lightwave carriers by a fixed wavelength spacing before selectively varying the lightwave carriers according to the respective data signals. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the respective data signals are two 50 Gbit/s differential quadrature phase key DQPSK signals, each 50 Gbit/s DQPSK signal including a first 25 Gbit/s data signal out of phase with a second 25 Gbit/s data signal for selectively varying a respective one of the two lightwave carriers, and the combined modulated lightwave carriers are a 100 Gbit/s DQPSK signal. Preferably, the apparatus includes a modulator for pulse shaping the lightwave carriers.

An apparatus includes multiple signal paths for optically converting an optical signal to multiples of the optical signal at different respective carrier frequencies for reducing interference between wireless transmissions of the multiples of the optical signal. Preferably, the converting includes a first modulator for modulating the optical signal into a first optical carrier and an initial first-order sideband signal with a frequency spacing twice that of the first optical carrier and a first interleaver for separating the first optical carrier and the initial first-order sideband signal. The converting also includes a second phase modulator for modulating the first optical carrier into a second optical carrier and a second first-order sideband signal with a frequency spacing twice that of the second optical carrier.

Multi-mode diode emitters are stacked in a staircase formation to provide a spatially-multiplexed output. Improved coupling efficiency is achieved by providing tilted collimated output beams that determine an effective step height of the stepped structure. Since the effective step height is dependent on the tilt angle, a variable number of emitters can be used inside packages having a same physical step height, while still attaining high coupling efficiency.

An inventive method for multi-symbol polarization switching for differential detection optical systems includes modulating a laser source by a DQPSK modulator, driving the DQPSK modulator with a data block configured for generating multi-symbol polarization-switched DQPSK differential-encoded signals, and polarizing the multi-symbol polarization-switched DQPSK signals with a polarizing modulator whose modulation speed is based on how often polarization states vary, wherein the data block provides a bits manipulation to provide the multi-symbol polarization switching thereby enabling differential detection for recovering correct original data by a receiver.

Efficient and scalable circuitry for performing Cholesky decomposition is based on two types of processing elements. A first type of processing element provides inverse square root and multiplication operations. A second type of processing element includes a first computation path for outputting an inner product difference element and a second computation path for outputting an inner product element. Processing elements of the first and second type may be cascaded to achieve a decomposition of a matrix of an arbitrary size. The circuitry is flexible to allow different throughput requirements, and can be optimized to reduce latency and resource consumption.
