OPTICAL SERIALIZER, OPTICAL DESERIALIZER, AND DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM INCLUDING THEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a serializer for converting a plurality of electric signals to a serialized optical signal.

SOLUTION: This serializer includes: a source of a plurality of unmodulated optical signals; a modulation unit for receiving the plurality of unmodulated optical signals and a plurality of electric signals, and generating a plurality of respective modulated optical signals using the plurality of electrical signals to modulate the plurality of unmodulated optical signals; and a coupling unit for delaying the plurality of respective modulated optical signals by delay amounts thereof to generate a plurality of respective delayed modulated optical signals, and coupling the plurality of delayed modulated optical signals with one another to generate a serialized modulated optical signal.
