Patents by Inventor Georg H. Mohs

Georg H. Mohs has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Optical fiber transmission system with noise loading
    Patent number: 7881611
    Abstract: A system and method for loading unutilized channels of a WDM system with noise to improve system performance. A transmitter amplifier may impart noise to unutilized channels by reducing amplifier input or providing feedback of the amplifier output. Noise signals may also be looped back to the transmitter from received signals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 17, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 1, 2011
    Assignee: Tyco Electronics Subsea Communications LLC
    Inventors: Georg H. Mohs, Stuart M. Abbott, Franklin W. Kerfoot, III, R. Brian Jander, Morten Nissov
  • Apparatus and method for commissioning an optical transmission system
    Patent number: 7646983
    Abstract: An apparatus and method directed to testing and optimizing performance of an optical transmission system is disclosed, including at least one broadband dispersion compensation unit (DCU) or at least one depolarization device. The depolarization device may be used alone or in combination with the at least one broadband DCU. A method for optimizing performance of data channels in initial loading (IL) and full loading (FL) configurations of the optical transmission system is also disclosed.
