Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods include leveraging the angular dependence of the angle of arrival of the incoming optical signal at an optical resonator and the output response signal to adjust the operating condition of the optical resonator. The optical resonator is dynamically tuned by rotating the optical resonator to optimize signal-to-noise ratio or other parameters for different modulation formats of the incoming optical signal or other different operating conditions.

Abstract: Optical signal receivers and methods are provided that include multiple optical resonators, each of which receives a portion of an arriving optical signal. Various of the optical resonators are tuned or detuned from a carrier wavelength, and produce an intensity modulated output signal in response to modulation transitions in the arriving optical signal. A detector determines phase transitions in the arriving optical signal, by analyzing the intensity modulation output signals from the optical resonators, and distinguishes between differing phase transitions that result in a common final state of the arriving optical signal.

Abstract: Optical receivers configured to demodulate phase modulated optical signals. In one example, an optical signal receiver includes an optical resonator configured to receive an arriving optical signal and to emit an output optical signal in response to receiving the arriving optical signal, the optical resonator being further configured to transform phase transitions corresponding to phase modulation of the arriving optical into intensity modulation of the output optical signal, an opto-electrical converter configured to convert the output optical signal into an electrical signal, a pulse detector configured to detect pulses in the electrical energy indicative of the phase transitions in the arriving optical signal, and a memory configured to record timing information associated with the pulses detected by the pulse detector.

Abstract: Optical signal receivers and methods are provided that include an optical resonator that allows optical signal energy of multiple wavelengths to enter and accumulate inside the optical resonator. A portion of optical signal energy of each wavelength is emitted from the optical resonator at an output, and the individual wavelengths may be separated. A detector aligned with the output detects the emitted optical signal energy of at least one of the wavelengths. The detector is configured to detect disturbances to the emitted optical signal energy and determine a modulated characteristic in the received optical signal energy of the wavelength.

Abstract: Aspects are generally directed to receivers and methods for optically demodulating optical signals. In one example, a receiver includes an optical resonator to receive an optical signal, the optical resonator including an optical medium interposed between first and second semi-reflective surfaces, where the first and second semi-reflective surfaces are positioned to resonate optical signal energy, and the optical resonator is configured to disrupt the optical signal energy resonance responsive to a variation in the received optical signal. The receiver may further include a probe source positioned to provide an optical probe beam to the optical medium, the optical medium being configured to interrupt the optical probe beam during the optical signal energy resonance and to transmit at least a portion of the optical probe beam in response to the disruption of the optical signal energy resonance, and a detector to detect the transmitted portion of the optical probe beam.

Abstract: Aspects are generally directed to optical signal receivers and methods. In one example, a receiver includes a pump assembly configured to produce an encoded pump signal. The receiver includes an optical resonator positioned to receive an optical signal and the encoded pump signal, the optical resonator including an optical medium to accumulate resonant optical signal energy based on the optical signal, and the optical resonator being configured to emit output optical signal energy and disturb the output optical signal energy in response to a variation in the optical signal, the optical medium being further configured to modify a waveform shape of the output optical signal energy based on the encoded pump signal. The receiver further includes a detector to detect the output optical signal energy and determine a characteristic of the variation in the optical signal based on the waveform shape of the output optical signal energy.

Abstract: Optical signal receivers and methods are provided that include first and second optical resonators, each of which receives a portion of an arriving optical signal. The first optical resonator is tuned to a carrier wavelength and accumulates resonant optical signal energy whose output is disturbed responsive to a transition in the arriving optical signal. The second optical resonator is detuned from the carrier wavelength but also exhibits a disturbed output responsive to the transition in the arriving optical signal. Detectors detect the output disturbances from the two optical resonators to determine characteristics of the transition in the arriving optical signal.

Abstract: A transmission antenna includes a closed-loop core having at least two electrically-conductive windings arranged on the closed-loop core. The windings are each electrically-actuated to generate a magnetic flux along the closed-loop core in opposing directions. The transmission antenna may generate a polarized magnetic field within a plane of the closed-loop core and provide broadband transmission of a polarized signal having a relatively flat frequency response. The transmission antenna is electrically-small, and the frequency of the polarized signal is nearly independent of the size of the closed-loop core. Multiple polarized signals may be provided, each being independently and continuously controlled through actuation of the windings. The direction of the polarized signal may also be varied. Additional windings for receiving a signal may simultaneously be employed on the closed-loop core. A method for transmitting a polarized signal with the transmission antenna is also provided.
