摘要: Various embodiments relate to a method including: coupling one or more optical spatial pilot signals into a first end of optical fiber, wherein the optical fiber is a multimode optical fiber; Reflecting and modifying each mode of the optical pilot signals at a second end of the optical fiber; receiving a reflected portion of the one or more optical spatial pilot signals at the first end of the of the optical fiber in response to the reflected portion having propagated through the optical fiber in both directions; processing the reflected spatial pilot to determine components of one of a round-trip transfer matrix of the optical fiber and a single-direction transfer matrix of the optical fiber.

摘要: An apparatus includes an optical data transmitter comprising an optical source of temporally incoherent light, an optical power splitter, an optical mode multiplexer, and a plurality of optical paths. The optical power splitter has an optical input and a plurality of optical outputs. The optical input is connected to receive the temporally incoherent light from the source. The optical mode multiplexer has a plurality of optical inputs and an optical output for connecting to a near end of an all-optical transmission fiber line. Each optical path connects a corresponding one of the optical outputs of the optical power splitter to a corresponding one of the optical inputs of the optical mode multiplexer. One or more of the optical paths of the plurality has or have an optical data modulator. A remaining one of the optical paths of the plurality is configured to transmit reference light from the optical power splitter to optical mode multiplexer

摘要: We disclose a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) whose optical resonator can support multiple transverse resonator modes. The VCSEL has a plurality of electrodes that can apply individually controllable electrical currents to the active semiconductor region of the optical resonator and be configured to excite, e.g., a single selected transverse resonator mode or a desired linear combination of transverse resonator modes. In some embodiments, the VCSEL's optical resonator may have an effective lateral geometric shape that causes the excitable transverse resonator modes to correspond to the waveguide modes of a cylindrical optical fiber.

摘要: An apparatus includes a plurality of VCSELs, a master laser, one or more electrical drivers, and an optical combiner. The master laser is configured to transmit laser light to the VCSELs to optically lock wavelengths of the VCSELs. The one or more electrical drivers are connected to directly electrically modulate the VCSELs in a manner responsive to one or more digital data stream. The optical combiner is configured to combine light received from, at least, a pair of the VCSELs into an optical carrier with a substantially phase digital data modulation.
