    摘要： Consistent with the present disclosure, data, in digital form, is received by a transmit nodes of an optical communication, and converted to analog signal by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to drive a modulator. The modulator, in turn, modulates light at one of a plurality of wavelengths in accordance with the received data. The modulated light is then transmitted over an optical communication path to a receive node. At the receive node, the modulated optical signal, as well as other modulated optical signals are supplied to a photodetector circuit, which receives additional light at one of the optical signal wavelengths from a local oscillator laser. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided in the receive node to convert the electrical signals output from the photodetector into digital form. The output from the ADC is then filtered in the electrical domain, such that optical demultiplexing of individual channels is unnecessary.

    摘要： Consistent with the present disclosure, a compact transmitter is provided that can generate optical signals having different modulation formats depending on optical link requirements. Preferably, the transmitter includes a photonic integrated circuit having multiple lasers and modulators. A control circuit adjusts the drive signals supplied to the modulators such that optical signals having a desired modulation format may be output from the modulators. Thus, for example, the transmitter may be used to output optical signals having a modulation format suitable for long haul or submarine links, as well as for links having a shorter distance. Moreover, the same photonic integrated circuit may supply optical signals with different modulation formats, such that, for example, those optical signals that are dropped along a link, and thus travel a shorter distance, may have a first modulation format, while other optical signals that travel the entire length of the link may have a second modulation format that is more suited for longer distances.

    摘要： A double-clad optical fiber has an inner cladding with a cross-sectional shape that is non-circular, but that maintains a good end-coupling profile. The cross-sectional shape of the inner cladding is such that two perpendicular distances across the shape, each of which passes through a geometric center of a core of the fiber, are equal for all angular positions. Thus, while mode mixing within the inner cladding is enhanced, the inner cladding does not suffer any oblong distortions of its shape, and is therefore more easily coupled to conventional fibers. The cross-sectional cladding shape may include various regions along its outer surface that do not conform to a circular geometry about a center of the core. These regions may include flat regions, or concave or convex regions. The overall cross-sectional shape of the inner cladding may also be octagonal or star-shaped. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the inner cladding may have a circular cross section, but has a torsional stress induced within it during manufacture. By rotating the fiber preform prior to curing of the inner cladding layer, a physical stress may be permanently imparted to the inner cladding which interacts with pump energy within the inner cladding layer to encourage mode mixing.
