  • Arrangement for generating chirped return to zero (CRZ) optical data signals
    Patent number: 6693929
    Abstract: Optical chirped return-to-zero (CRZ) data signals are generated without the need for a separate phase modulator, by using a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator for RZ pulse carving that is driven with two typically sinusoidal signals of either unequal amplitude or unequal relative phase, i.e. of non-vanishing phase difference.
