Systems, and apparatus for adding reflection based pre-emphasis to a laser driver. In one aspect, a device includes a load (e.g. a laser) having a load impedance, a first end of a transmission line connected to the load, and a reflective impedance element connected to a second end of the transmission line. The reflective impedance element has a given impedance value that differs from the transmission line's characteristic impedance, and the characteristic impedance differs from the load impedance. This mismatch causes reflections between the reflective impedance element and the load. The reflections between the reflective impedance element and the load combine with an incident signal at the load to create a target signal having a target spectral shape.

The present invention provides a visible-light communications system allowing high quality, high-speed communications. More specifically, the visible-light communications system comprises a transmission device which: has a plurality of light-emitting units for emitting light of different colours; makes transmission data correspond to chromaticity points on chromaticity coordinates; calculates the amount of light emitted from each of the light-emitting units in such a way that coloured light of chromaticity points corresponding to the transmission data is sent out; generates a preamble signal used in a channel matrix estimation; and makes each of the light-emitting units emit light on the basis of the preamble signal and the calculated amount of emitted light. Additionally, the visible-light communications system also comprises a receiving device which: has a plurality of light-receiving units for receiving light signals of different colours; estimates the channel matrix on the basis of the light signals corresponding to the preamble signal, when such light signals are received by the various light-receiving units; uses radio waves to carry out compensation on the light signal corresponding to the chromaticity point on the basis of the estimated channel matrix; and demodulates the transmission data by detecting the chromaticity points on the chromaticity coordinates on the basis of the signal after the radio-wave compensation.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for removing nonlinear distortion of an optical transmitter are provided. Some of the power input to a laser diode (LD) are coupled. The coupled result is coupled with a signal containing nonlinear distortion components by a coupling photo diode (PD) within the LD. A signal obtained by shifting the phase of the coupled signal containing the nonlinear distortion components by 180E and maintaining the magnitude of the coupled signal is combined with the coupled signal, thereby removing input signal components and leaving only a distortion signal whose phase is opposite to an input signal. The magnitude and the phase of the distortion signal are adjusted to generate a signal having the same magnitude as and an opposite phase to the distortion signal, thereby removing nonlinear distortion in an optical transmitter. Here, the magnitude and the phase are the function of temperature, so magnitude and phase variation data according to a change in temperature is stored in a memory using a small microprocessor. By fine adjusting the magnitude and the phase according to a change in temperature, reliability against changes in temperature or circumstances can be secured. Accordingly, the apparatus and method are applied to optical transmitters needing high-efficiency and high-power laser diodes so that wide dynamic rage and satisfactory inter-modulation characteristics can be achieved.

The invention relates to a system and method for transmitting a signal via a non-linear transmission unit, wherein the system aims to reduce distortion in the signal after transmission caused by intermodulation products. For achieving a decrease of intermodulation products in the output signal the system comprises a power splitter (110) for dividing the signal into a main signal and an auxiliary signal. The system further includes a power variation detector (120) for detecting power variations in said auxiliary signal and for generating a control signal representing said power variations. The system further includes a variable attenuator 130 for attenuating the power of said main signal in response to said control signal such that the said power of the main signal being input to said non-linear transmission line (200a) is kept constant if the power of the input signal exceeds a predetermined reference power value Pref. After transmission the signal is recovered by amplifying the main signal by a first variable gain amplifier (310) in response to said control signal.

A multi-level optical signal is sampled to generate an eye diagram. The signal can be adjusted when eyes in the eye diagram have different heights. More specifically, a first value is determined, and the height of a first eye is adjusted using the first value. The first value is multiplied by a stored factor to produce a second value, and the height of a second eye is adjusted using the second value, and so on for other eyes. As a result, eye heights are the same. Similarly, optical power levels of the signal can be adjusted when the levels are not equally spaced. As a result, the optical power levels are equally spaced.
