  • Wavelength division multiplexing using light sources having a common wavelength
    Patent number: 12785807
    Abstract: A transmitter includes a Local Oscillator (LO) circuit, multiple Radio Frequency (RF) combiners, and an optical transmitter. The LO circuit is configured to generate multiple LO signals having different LO frequencies. The Radio Frequency (RF) combiners are configured to receive multiple baseband signals and to respectively combine the baseband signals with the LO signals to produce combined baseband signals. The optical transmitter includes multiple optical sources, multiple modulators, and an optical multiplexer. The optical sources are configured to generate, when unmodulated, optical beams having a common wavelength. The modulators are configured to modulate the optical sources or the optical beams using the combined baseband signals, thereby generating multiple modulated optical signals having different wavelengths. The optical multiplexer is configured to optically combine the modulated optical signals to form a combined optical signal, and to transmit the combined optical signal over an optical fiber.
