OPTICAL PAIRED CHANNEL TRANSCEIVER AND SYSTEM

摘要

An optical paired channel transceiver component comprises an optical channel interface to concurrently receive an inbound optical signal at a designated receiver frequency, and output an outbound optical signal at a designated transmitter frequency distinct from the receiver frequency; a receiver (24) operable to process the inbound optical signal at the receiver frequency; a laser input interface (206) to receive a laser input at the transmitter frequency to produce the outbound optical signal; and a resonant optical structure (210) optically coupling each of the laser input interface and the receiver to the optical channel interface via respective optical paths, and having a resonance corresponding to one of the transmitter frequency and the receiver frequency such that a resonant one of the inbound signal and the outbound signal is resonantly redirected by the resonant optical structure along a resonant one of the respective paths.
