Soliton data transmission using non-soliton transmitter

摘要

Method and apparatus of soliton transmission using a non-soliton source are described. The soliton transmission is generally in the form of an optical pulse sequence, Intensity and phase modulation of a continuous wave optical signal generates a pair of optical pulse sequences related to Stokes and anti-Stokes components of the doubly modulated optical signal. By proper alignment of the optical frequency of the cw optical signal with the passband of a filtered transmission line, it is possible to have the filtered transmission line comprising sliding frequency-guiding filters permit only one of the pulse sequences to be selected and thereby form a soliton pulse sequence.
