EVENT SYNCHRONIZATION FOR OPTICAL SIGNALS

摘要

A system for synchronizing an optical signal with an initiation of an event can include an event controller which controls the initiation of the event, and an optical modulator which modulates the optical signal in response to receipt of an indication from the event controller that the event is initiated. A method of synchronizing an optical signal with an initiation of an event can include transmitting from an event controller an indication that the event is initiated, receiving the indication that the event is initiated, and modulating the optical signal in response to the receiving. A system for synchronizing multiple optical signals can include at least one time-code generator which generates time-codes, and multiple optical modulators which modulate the respective optical signals in response to generation of the time-codes by the at least one time-code generator.
