  • Patent number: 10505632
    Abstract: Extending a communication distance range of an electronic data interface involves establishing a data communicating link between a first and second electronic device in accordance which communicate in accordance with a predetermined electronic interface standard (PEIS). An optical fiber bus extender embedment (FBEE) disposed intermediate of the first and second electronic device includes first and second transport modules, respectively disposed proximate to the first and second electronic devices. These transport modules interface the FBEE directly with both of the first and second electronic device in accordance with the PEIS. Electronic data signals received from the first electronic device are used to modulate a first optical signal so as to form a first modulated optical data signal (MODS). The first MODS is coupled to an optical fiber to communicate the first MODS to the second transport module.

  • Patent number: 10484239
    Abstract: Automatically configuring a pluggable optical transceiver (POT) in a software defined network (SDN) involves a pluggable optical transceiver configuration management application (POT-CMA) executing in a processing device disposed in an application plane of the SDN. The POT-CMA receives first configuration information of a POT which has been inserted into a network device in an SDN data plane. Responsive to receiving the data, the POT-CMA automatically determines at least one modification or addition to the first configuration information to facilitate use of the POT within the SDN in the first port of the first network device. Thereafter, the POT CMA causes at least one write event to occur at the first network device wherein the at least one modification or addition is written to a memory in the POT.

  • Patent number: 10484093
    Abstract: Feeding a plurality of antenna elements of an array antenna, involves receiving at a photonic substrate at least one transmit modulated optical carrier (TMOC) signal. The TMOC signal is communicated to an array level photonic integrated circuit (ALPIC) disposed on the photonic substrate where one or more optical processing operations are performed involving the TMOC signal to obtain a plurality of element-level optical carrier (ELOC) signals. These ELOC signals are communicated from the ALPIC to a plurality of conversion locations distributed on the photonic substrate. Photodetectors respectively provided at the conversion locations convert each of the ELOC signals to an element-level modulated radio frequency (ELMRF) signal. The ELMRF signal are coupled from each photodetector respectively to one of the plurality of antenna elements.
