    Abstract: A system and method for recovering encoded data from a modulated baseband signal is disclosed. Aspects and embodiments of the system and method include receiving an analog input signal representing a modulated baseband signal, counting clock cycles of a reference clock, detecting a first transition and a second transition of the analog input signal indicating a first change and a second change in the modulated baseband signal, storing a first counter value corresponding to an amount of clock cycles elapsed between the first transition and the second transition, and determining a binary-valued bit sequence corresponding to the first counter value.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an antenna, a transmitter configured to generate an outgoing electrical signal, and a receiver configured to receive an incoming electrical signal. The apparatus also includes a transformer configured to couple the antenna and the transmitter such that the outgoing electrical signal causes the antenna to radiate outgoing electromagnetic energy, couple the antenna and the receiver such that the incoming electrical signal is based on incoming electromagnetic energy received by the antenna, and electrically isolate the transmitter and the receiver. The antenna may include inner and outer compensating coils, the compensating coils may be configured to additively radiate the outgoing electromagnetic energy, and the incoming electrical signal may be based on a difference between the incoming electromagnetic energy as received by the compensating coils.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a phase modulator configured to modulate a phase of an incoming frequency-modulated signal based on a clock signal to generate a phase-modulated signal, where the clock signal is associated with a clock frequency. The apparatus also includes an etalon configured to receive the phase-modulated signal and generate an output signal based on the phase-modulated signal. The apparatus further includes a detector configured to identify amplitudes associated with a first harmonic of the clock frequency and a first subharmonic of the clock frequency in the output signal. In addition, the apparatus includes a decoder configured to recover information encoded in the incoming frequency-modulated signal based on instantaneous frequency deviations of the incoming frequency-modulated signal, where the instantaneous frequency deviations are identified based on relative amplitudes of the first harmonic and the first subharmonic.

    Abstract: Optical transmitters configured to modulate optical signals with a path-dependent phase modulation scheme. In certain examples, an optical transmitter includes an optical source that emits a carrier waveform, a modulator configured to modulate the carrier waveform according to a path-dependent phase modulation scheme to produce a modulated optical signal, a mapping module configured to map a data payload to the path-dependent phase modulation scheme, each symbol in the path-dependent phase modulation scheme including a concatenation of at least one location bit and a path bit, the at least one location bit identifying an amount of a phase transition in the modulated optical signal and the path bit identifying a direction of the phase transition, and a pulse-shaping filter configured to control the modulator, based on an output from the mapping module, to impose the path-dependent phase modulation scheme on the carrier waveform to generate the modulated optical signal.

    Abstract: A free-space optical signal receiver includes a plurality of detectors whose individual outputs are delayed to correct for variations in arrival time caused by aberration in the medium through which the optical signal propagates, and combined to provide a single output. Each of the plurality of detectors sense the free-space modulated optical signal and provide a detector signal representative of the modulation of the optical signal. Each detector signal is delayed by a delay value to generate a delayed signal, and each delay value is selected to correct for variation in arrival time of the optical signal at each of the detectors, resulting in the delayed signals being substantially time-aligned. The delayed signals are constructively combined into a combined signal representative of the modulation aspect, and the combined signal is provided as an output.
