摘要： A high-sensitivity signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) determining apparatus measures the in-band SNR of an optical data signal by detecting and demodulating the optical signal and analyzing a narrow bandwidth of the resulting electrical data spectrum at half the data clock frequency, or more generally, a predetermined frequency equal to a multiple M of one-half the clock frequency, fclk/2, where M is an integer equal to or greater than one, may be used. When the optical signal is a WDM signal, a tunable filter isolates a single channel for detection. The detected electrical signal is subjected to both an in-phase and quadrature narrowband RF demodulation using a local oscillator at precisely half the clock frequency. Using this technique, the magnitude of the data portion of the optical signal becomes the in-phase component and the magnitude of the noise present in the optical signal becomes the quadrature component. The ratio of the two demodulated signal components (in-phase and quadrature) is proportional to the SNR of the detected signal. The technique is inherently narrowband and offers very high sensitivity and does not require an optical pre-amplifier.
摘要翻译：高灵敏度信噪比（SNR）确定装置通过检测和解调光信号并且以一半数据时钟频率分析所得到的电数据频谱的窄带宽来测量光数据信号的带内SNR 或者更一般地，可以使用等于时钟频率的1/2的预定频率，其中M是等于或大于1的整数的时钟频率f clcl / 2。当光信号是WDM信号时，可调谐滤波器隔离单个信道进行检测。检测到的电信号在正好一半的时钟频率下使用本地振荡器进行同相和正交窄带RF解调。使用该技术，光信号的数据部分的大小变成同相分量，并且存在于光信号中的噪声幅度变为正交分量。两个解调信号分量（同相和正交）的比率与检测信号的SNR成比例。该技术本质上是窄带，并提供非常高的灵敏度，并且不需要光学前置放大器。

摘要： In accordance with the invention, a tunable, reconfigurable optical add-drop filter comprises a pair of optical waveguides optically coupled by a microring or microdisk resonator wherein the coupling distance between the resonator and at least one of the waveguides is micromechanically controllable. With this arrangement, the degree of coupling can be tuned after fabrication to provide high level extinction of dropped wavelengths and the filter can be dynamically reconfigured. Advantageously, laser radiation is provided to tune the resonant wavelength.

摘要： An optical system may be configured as a receiving or as a transmitting system. As a receiving system, it is configured to receive at least one incident laser beam and project the beam into a spot on an array of actuable elements. The position of the spot is determined by the incident angular direction of the beam. The array is configured to track the position of the spot and at each tracked position of the spot to direct the beam onto an actual element. The actuable element tracks the spot so as to direct the beam onto a fixed path toward an optical receiver. As a transmitting system, it includes an actuable element configured to direct the light output from a laser into a spot on an array of actuable elements. The array is configured to track the position of the spot and at each tracked position of the spot to direct the light into a beam-forming system. The beam-forming system is configured to project the light in a transmitted beam having a variable angular direction. The beam angular direction is determined by the position of the spot on the array.

摘要： A laser communication system includes transmitters and detectors coupled to a multimode fiber through “arms”, which can consist of N optical fibers joined to the main fiber through a 1×N fiber splitter. A set of N data streams is RF modulated onto RF carriers of identical frequency. RF modulated data streams are used to intensity modulate the N laser transmitters. N optical signals are combined onto the single multimode fiber for transmission to M multiple detectors, where M≧N. Each M detector receives power from all N transmitting lasers. The M detectors utilize direct optical detection to convert the received optical signal to a RF signal, which can be demodulated using standard RF techniques. The inherent modal-coupling diversity between the arms introduced by the optical system, when combined with modal dispersion in the multimode fiber, introduces a decorrelation in both the transmitted and received signal arrays to enhance signal throughput.
