    摘要: An apparatus for mitigating polarization dependent loss (PDL) in an optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of a modulated optical signal is disclosed. The apparatus may comprise a spectrum analyzer to measure an optical power spectrum of a modulated optical signal. The apparatus may also comprise a measuring unit to select a first portion of the modulated optical signal and a second portion of the modulated optical signal, where each of the first and second portions of the modulated optical signals may include an independent noise distribution indicative of PDL, and measure a time-varying parameter of the first and second portions. The apparatus may also include a signal processor to PDL in an OSNR by transforming any elliptical polarization associated with the independent noise distribution into a ball polarization, determining a correlation between time-varying parameters of the first and second portions, and calculating a PDL mitigated OSNR.

    摘要: Systems and methods for optical data interconnection are described. One aspect includes detecting a first HDMI connection of a first terminal of an optical connector. A second HDMI connection of a second terminal of the optical connector may be detected. One aspect includes determining that the first HDMI connection is associated with an HDMI source, and determining that the second HDMI connection is associated with an HDMI sink. Responsive to determining that the first HDMI connection is associated with the HDMI source, an HDMI transmission mode is selected for the first terminal. Responsive to determining that the second HDMI connection is associated with the HDMI sink, an HDMI reception mode is selected for the second terminal. The first terminal and the second terminal may perform HDMI optical communication via an optical communication channel.
