Method And Apparatus For The Characterization Of Optical Pulses And Modulators

US Patent:
6856927, Feb 15, 2005
Filed:
Jan 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/338355
Inventors:
Christophe Jean Dorrer - Matawan NJ, US
Inuk Kang - Matawan NJ, US
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G06F019/00
US Classification:
702 76, 702 57, 702 70, 702126, 385 2, 385 5, 375242, 359237, 356 508, 356 511
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the characterization of optical pulses and modulators includes modulating, using a modulator, a train of optical pulses, measuring a spectrum of the modulated train of optical pulses, recording the measured spectrum as an entry in a spectrogram at a position in the spectrogram corresponding to a relative delay between the modulation and the train of optical pulses, incrementing the relative delay, and repeating the above steps until the accumulated relative delay is equal to the period of the spectrogram. The train of optical pulses and the modulator are then characterized using the measured spectra recorded in the spectrogram.

Method And Apparatus For Characterizing Optical Pulses Using Reduced Complexity Chronocyclic Tomography

US Patent:
6885490, Apr 26, 2005
Filed:
May 1, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/427839
Inventors:
Christophe J. Dorrer - Matawan NJ, US
Inuk Kang - Matawan NJ, US
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H04B010/04
G02F001/01
US Classification:
359279, 359278
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for characterizing an optical pulse using a reduced complexity chronocyclic tomography is described. In one example, an optical pulse train is modulated using quadratic temporal phase modulation. A first spectral intensity of the optical pulse train is measured after a quadratic temporal phase modulation having a first amplitude. A second spectral intensity of the train of optical pulses is then measured in response to the quadratic temporal phase modulation having a second amplitude. At least one of the group delay and the spectral intensity associated with the train of optical pulses is computed using the first spectral intensity and the second spectral intensity.

Interferometric Method And Apparatus For The Characterization Of Optical Pulses

US Patent:
7006230, Feb 28, 2006
Filed:
May 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/439828
Inventors:
Christophe J. Dorrer - Matawan NJ, US
Inuk Kang - Matawan NJ, US
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G01B 9/02
US Classification:
356451, 356450
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the characterization of an optical pulse includes splitting an optical pulse into two replicas separated by a delay, modulating at least one of the two replicas with a linear temporal phase modulation, measuring a spectrum of the modulated replicas, and characterizing the optical pulse using the measured spectra. In one embodiment of the present invention a spectral phase difference between the replicas is obtained from the measured spectrum using Fourier Transform Spectral Interferometry.

Linear Optical Sampling Method And Apparatus

US Patent:
7042629, May 9, 2006
Filed:
Feb 19, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/782003
Inventors:
Christopher Richard Doerr - Middletown NJ, US
Christophe J. Dorrer - Matawan NJ, US
Peter J. Winzer - Tinton Falls NJ, US
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G02F 2/00
G02F 1/01
H04B 10/06
US Classification:
359325, 359246, 398205, 398207
Abstract:
A linear optical sampling apparatus, temporally samples a modulated optical signal using the amplitude of the interference of its electric field with the electric field of a laser pulse. The apparatus includes a 90 optical hybrid that combines the optical signal and laser pulse in order to generate two quadratures interference samples Sand S. A processor compensates for optical and electrical signal handling imperfections in the hybrid, balanced detectors, and A/D converters used in the optical sampling apparatus. The processor numerically scales the two quadratures interference samples Sand Sover a large collection of samples by imposing that the average ==0 and = and then minimizes 2/(+) =cos(φ−φ). This is done by adjusting the phase between the two quadratures (ideally either −π/2 or +π/2) so that cos(φ−φ) is zero. The processor then generates a demodulated sample signal using the quadratures interference samples Sand S.

Method And Apparatus For Optical Sampling

US Patent:
7068411, Jun 27, 2006
Filed:
Jan 29, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/766977
Inventors:
Christophe J Dorrer - Matawan NJ, US
Inuk Kang - Matawan NJ, US
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G02F 1/03
H04B 10/04
US Classification:
359245, 359259, 359264, 398189, 398147
Abstract:
An optical sampling method and apparatus are provided for modulating an optical signal using a first electroabsorption modulator (EAM) driven by a sinusoidal RF voltage signal to provide substantially jitter free temporal gating of the optical signal. The gated optical signal from the first EAM is routed through a second EAM to provide an optical output signal having a reduced repetition rate. The second EAM is driven using an electrical pulse train having a repetition rate that is a subharmonic of the frequency of the sinusoidal RF voltage signal driving the first EAM.
