    摘要: An apparatus for generating a time-delayed product of two independent signals includes a fixed-wavelength laser. A first optical modulator is optically coupled to the fixed-wavelength laser and configured to modulate a fixed wavelength optical carrier with a first input signal of a set of input signals. The apparatus also includes a tunable laser. A second optical modulator is optically coupled to the tunable laser and configured to modulate a tunable optical carrier with a second input signal of the set of input signals. The apparatus also includes a dispersive element coupled to the second optical modulator, a first optical detector coupled to the dispersive element, a third optical modulator optically coupled to the first optical detector and the first optical modulator, an optical 90-degree hybrid element optically coupled to the third optical modulator, and a plurality of optical detectors optically coupled to the optical 90-degree hybrid element.

    摘要: Embodiments of a tunable radio frequency (RF) diplexer and methods of duplexing transmission and receive signals are disclosed. In one embodiment, the RF diplexer includes a first hybrid coupler, a second hybrid coupler, and an RF filter circuit, and a phase inversion component. Both the RF filter circuit and the phase inversion component are connected between the first hybrid coupler and the second hybrid coupler. In some embodiments, the phase inversion component is provided by the RF filter circuit, while in other embodiments, the phase inversion component is provided separately. The phase inversion component is configured to provide a differential phase shift. The benefit of introducing the differential phase shift is that it provides increased isolation and broadband isolation between the different frequency bands being diplexed by the RF diplexer.

    摘要: A method for creating an optical binary digital transmit signal to be supplied to an optical transmission link including: operating an optical transmitter in such a state that mode hopping occurs between a predefined first and a predefined second optical mode of the optical transmitter if a binary digital modulation signal is supplied to the optical transmitter and creating a modulated optical output signal of the optical transmitter corresponding to the binary digital modulation signal supplied to the optical transmitter. The modulated optical output signal is optically filtered in such a way that at least a portion of the optical power spectrum of the modulated optical output signal caused by a selected one of the first and second optical modes is suppressed or at least substantially attenuated.

    摘要: An aspect of the present invention is an optical modulator, comprising a waveguide substrate and a multiplexing optical system. The waveguide substrate includes a first modulation portion, a second modulation, a first optical path and a second optical path. The multiplexing optical system includes a first surface and a second surface. First output light output from the first optical path and second output light output from the second optical path are input from the first surface and are output after there are combined at a combining point of the second surface. An optical path length between the first surface and the combining point in the first output light is larger than that of in the second output light. An optical path length between the first modulation portion and the first surface and an optical path length between the second modulation portion and the first surface are different.

    摘要: A differential TWE MZM includes a differential driver, first and second capacitors, and first and second terminations. The differential driver includes a first differential output and a second differential output that collectively form a differential pair. The first differential output is DC coupled to a first arm optical phase shifter of a TWE MZM. The second differential output is DC coupled to a second arm optical phase shifter of the TWE MZM. The first capacitor AC couples the second differential output to the first arm optical phase shifter. The second capacitor AC couples the first differential output to the second arm optical phase shifter. The first and second terminations are coupled to, respectively, the first or second arm optical phase shifter.
