    摘要: A signal receiver, such as an RF-matched filter receiver, includes an optical source (e.g. a mode-locked laser) providing an optical signal, and a first optical modulator to modulate the optical signal with a received RF signal and provide a modulated optical signal. A second optical modulator modulates the modulated optical signal with a reference signal and provides a twice modulated optical signal. The modulators may be Mach-Zehnder Modulators (MZM) and/or Indium Phosphide (InP) modulators. An optical detector receives the twice modulated optical signal and provides a detected signal, and a processing unit receives the detected signal and extracts or measures cross-correlation between the received RF signal and the reference signal.

    摘要: An apparatus having a topology that allows building complicated optical programmable arrays useful for manipulating the phase and/or amplitude of an optical signal. Sophisticated filtering and other optical signal processing functionality can be programmed into the array after a chip containing the array has been fabricated. This programming capability is analogous to that of electronic field programmable gate arrays (FPGA's). Apparatus described herein will provide a powerful tool for processing optical signals or very broadband electrical signals.

    摘要: A driver, e.g., for use with electro-optic (E/O) modulators. The driver is configured to generate a driving signal based on an electronic NRZ input data signal and an input clock signal. The driver converts the NRZ input data signal to an RZ format and produces an amplified RZ signal that can be applied to an E/O modulator. The amplification gain of the driver is adjustable to enable interfacing with different modulators. In one embodiment of the invention, the driving signal is generated based on a comparison between the NRZ input data signal and an offset clock signal generated from the input clock signal. The width of pulses in the driving signal, e.g., corresponding to logical “ones,” may be tuned by, e.g., changing the DC offset of the clock signal. The driver may be implemented as an ASIC configured to operate at the data rate of, e.g., 10 GBit/s.
