| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a receiver for receiving a time division multiplexed (TDM) optical signal (75), which is formed of a plurality of interleaved optical pulse streams. Each optical pulse stream includes a plurality of optical pulses. The receiver includes a detector (260) for detecting at least a first optical pulse stream of the optical signal and an optical hybrid (252) for coherently mixing the first optical pulse stream with a reference pulse stream. The first optical pulse stream and the reference pulse stream impinge simultaneously upon the detector.</p> |
