    摘要: An integrated optical modulator device. The device can include a driver module coupled to an optical modulator. The optical modulator is characterized by a raised cosine transfer function. This optical modulator can be coupled to a light source and a bias control module, which is configured to apply an off-quadrature bias to the optical modulator. This bias can be accomplished by applying an inverse of the modulator transfer function to the optical modulator in order to minimize a noise variance. This compression function can result in an optimized increased top eye opening for a signal associated with the optical modulator. Furthermore, the optical modulator can be coupled to an EDFA (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) that is coupled to a filter coupled an O/E (Optical-to-Electrical) receiver.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to optical communication systems and methods thereof. In various embodiments, the present invention provides method for linearizing Mach Zehnder modulators by digital pre-compensation and adjusting the gain of the driver and/or the modulation index. The pre-compensation can be implemented as a digital pre-compensation algorithm, which is a part of an adaptive feedback loop. There are other embodiments as well.
