| 摘要 |
This invention provides a means for high data multiple wavelength encoding with reduced bandwidth requirements by combining the outputs of a plurality of multiple wavelength processing modules (101-104). Each module produces a modulated optical pulse train with the pulses from each module being phase offset with respect to each other. The phase offsets are controlled by a feedback system (111-119), such that when combined, the plurality of multiple wavelength processing modules produce a high data rate sequence of substantially non-overlapping optical pulses at multiple wavelengths. The invention is compatible with highly integrated optical and electronic modules and because the wavelength processing modules are identical, additional spare modules can be included to provide redundancy.
