Filter to improve dispersion tolerance for optical transmission

An optical transmission system has a directly modulated laser for modulating data directly on an optical signal, and a narrow band optical filter having a band center frequency offset from a central optical frequency of the optical signal, to reduce the phase difference between FM and AM of the modulated optical signal, the filter having a bandwidth sufficiently narrow to substantially remove frequencies outside a spectrum of adiabatic frequency chirp resulting from the modulation, combined with Fourier broadening caused by the data modulation. This is a cost effective way of improving the dispersion tolerance to give greatly improved system reach and to make it practical to use directly modulated lasers with existing NDSF. The narrow band filter can be located at the transmitter or the receiver, and can have a center frequency locked to a feature in the frequency spectrum of the laser.

Component operating with bulk acoustic waves, and having asymmetric/symmetrical circuitry

A component operating with bulk acoustic waves has two Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonators that are stacked and are acoustically coupled to one another, with a first resonator being connected to an asymmetric port, and a second resonator being connected to a symmetrical port. The acoustic coupling is provided by a partially permeable coupling layer system, which has an alternating sequence of at least two λ / 4 mirror layers with different acoustic impedance. The coupling layer system furthermore has a compensation layer, which has an approximate thickness of λ / 8. The compensation layer according to the invention makes it possible to match any discrepancy in the phase difference (which is caused by reflections on the mirror layers) from the predetermined 180° between the connections of the symmetrical port to approximately 180°.

Method and apparatus for switching between input clocks in a phase-locked loop

A phase-locked loop receives multiple input clocks, one of which is selected for use by the PLL at any one time. The phase difference(s) between non-selected input clocks and a feedback signal of the PLL, is monitored and stored. When a switch occurs to using a non-selected clock as the input clock of the PLL, the stored phase difference, typically a DC offset value, is injected into the phase-locked loop to compensate for the phase difference between the clocks.

Method and apparatus for distributed synchronous clocking

To synchronize clock signals in spatially distributed nodes in a large, synchronous electronic, optical, optoelectronic or wireless system, a master node generates two identical pulse trains and propagates them to a plurality of slave nodes via first and second propagation channels, respectively, so that a pair of pulses, one from each pulse train, arrive at each slave node simultaneously, travelling in opposite directions. Each slave node generates a clock signal event when the pair of pulses arrive substantially simultaneous. When the pulses in the two channels do not arrive simultaneously, the slave node adjusts delays in each propagation channel so as to adjust arrival times of subsequent pairs of pulses. The delays may comprise pre-delays upstream of the detection point and post-delays downstream of the detection point, any increment in a pre-delay being compensated by an equal decrement in the post-delay in the same propagation channel.
