摘要:
The present applies to digital wavelength converters that convert, independently of the format in which optical data may be encoded, an input waveform at a first wavelength to an output waveform at a second wavelength. When operating in an environment where an input waveform has a pilot tone associated thereto, the method and system of the present disclosure allows for the removal of the pilot tone from the input waveform, and also allows for the addition of another pilot to the output waveform.

As network traffic grows and more data needs to be transmitted through a network, it is desired to use optical switching systems that allow for switching between a large number of nodes. An optical switching system according to one embodiment disclosed herein allows different nodes to transmit optical signals having the same optical wavelength, in order to accommodate a larger number of nodes. For example, one cluster of nodes may transmit data using optical wavelengths that are the same as optical wavelengths that may also be used by other clusters of nodes. A controller performs scheduling and reconfiguration in the optical switching system, as needed, e.g. in order to mitigate collisions.

An optical transceiver is provided with an optical front end for receiving signal light comprising an optical sub-channel, and for providing an electrical signal based on the signal light; a light source optically coupled to the optical front end for providing local oscillator light thereto for mixing with the signal light; an electro-optical modulator coupled to the light source for receiving output light therefrom and for modulating the output light with digital information to obtain modulated light; and a signal processor operably coupled to the optical front end. The signal processor is configured for processing the electrical signal to obtain a frequency offset of the sub-channel; and adjusting an optical frequency of the modulated light based on the frequency offset. When applied to a multiple-access environment, this may allow access nodes to generate optical sub-channels in the uplink direction using the downlink optical signal as an optical frequency reference.

The disclosure is directed to a method and system for generating a pilot tone for an optical signal with an optical telecommunications system. The pilot tone is generated in the digital domain by modulating the data to be transmitted to a destination node within the optical telecommunications network. The modulation of the data introduces occurrence modulation to the optical signal.
摘要:
There is provided a method and apparatus for detecting an object, especially an object remotely placed in a field of view (FOV) using optical pulses with non-uniform pulse power, without exceeding the Accessible Emitted Limit (AEL) A plurality of optical pulses including two or more levels of pulse power may be emitted to detect an object in the FOV. Information related to the object may be generated from the returning optical pulses. The optical pulses with non-uniform pulse power may result in increased probability of detection associated with the pulses returning from the remotely located object, and therefore the density of point clouds associated with the remotely located object may be increased.
摘要:
Systems and methods for applying a pilot tone to multiple spectral bands are provided. An initial signal is divided into multiple spectral bands. A pilot tone is applied to each of the spectral bands, and then the signals are again combined for transmission. The pilot tones differ in some way, for example in phase or frequency.
