    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for detecting pulses of light energy from at least two fields of view. A first detector having a first bias detects a pulse received at a first point in time. A second detector having a second bias, different from the first bias, detects a pulse received at a second point in time. A processor compares an output of the first detector with a first threshold to produce a signal representing receipt of a pulse from a first field of view. The processor also compares an output of the second detector with a second threshold, different from the first threshold, to produce a signal representing receipt of a pulse from a second field of view. Because the detectors are biased with different biases, the detected pulses are easily distinguished. Thus, multiple fields of view can be detected without complex hardware. The detectors can be biased with opposite polarities so that background noise is cancelled out. In a system and method for detecting pulses of light energy from at least two fields of view, a transmitter transmits pulses of light energy into a first field of view and into a second field of view. A single transmitter can be used to emit signals towards multiple fields of view. Thus, the transmitter only has to emit signals once for multiple samples, increasing the number of samples that can be taken per sample period.

    摘要: Techniques for multiple channel optical transceivers for use in network devices are provided. In general, a row of optical emitters are disposed adjacent to a row of optical detectors in order to provide increased bandwidth and reduced optical crosstalk. Each row can be electrically coupled to an associated transmitting electronic board or detecting electronic board to reduce electronic crosstalk. The configuration of the optical emitters and detectors allow enhanced flexibility in dressing out the optical fibers and routing them to other network devices.

    摘要: An optical transceiver and method therefore provides a cooled laser diode configured to run in either a low power mode or a standard mode. A method for a thermo-electric cooler includes coupling the thermo-electric cooler to a laser diode, operating the thermo-electric cooler in one of a low power mode and a standard mode, and switching between the low power mode and the standard mode. The laser diode is configured to transmit signals in the low power mode and the standard mode. The low power mode maintains the laser diode at a temperature within a predetermined range of temperatures. The standard mode maintains the laser diode at a temperature that corresponds to a predetermined wavelength of light output from the laser diode. In one embodiment, the low power mode is a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) mode and the standard mode is a Dense Wavelength Divison Multipexing (DWDM) mode. The optical transceiver includes a temperature circuit, a thermo-electric cooler coupled to the temperature circuit, and a laser diode coupled to the thermo-electric cooler. The thermo-electric cooler is responsive to inputs from the temperature circuit, the inputs identifying one of at least a first mode and a second mode, wherein a choice of mode is a function of a performance requirement. The optical transceiver includes a temperature circuit that includes a switch configured to alter the thermo-electric cooler between the first mode and the second mode.

    摘要: A method, an apparatus and a system for gigabit Ethernet (GbE) using only 2 pairs of wires for a single communications link are described. This network communication may be referred to as 2-pair 1000Base-T. GbE using only 2 wire pairs per link may offer increased port density over a conventional 1000Base-T link. As an alternative, 2-pair 1000Base-T may also provide increased link bandwidth over the existing 1000Base-T standard. When a given number of conventional links in a system are replaced by the same number of 2-pair 1000Base-T links, the system bandwidth may also be consequently increased. Transformers and power supplies may be combined with GbE utilizing only two wire pairs to provide power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions.

    摘要: A method, an apparatus, and a system where multiple lower bandwidth optic Ethernet (e.g. 1000Base-FX) signals can be interleaved or encoded onto a single fiber optic link by overclocking the physical layer elements in such a manner as to be transparent to the data link layer and other higher network layers in the Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model (OSI Model) are provided. Such embodiments may provide increased port density over the existing fiber optic gigabit Ethernet (GbE) standards. In embodiments where multiple GbE signals are not channelized, overclocking the physical layer elements may provide increased bandwidth for a single link over existing fiber optic GbE standards.
