  • Digital optical network architecture
    Patent number: 7634195
    Abstract: A digital optical network (DON) is a new approach to low-cost, more compact optical transmitter modules and optical receiver modules for deployment in optical transport networks (OTNs). One important aspect of a digital optical network is the incorporation in these modules of transmitter photonic integrated circuit (TxPIC) chips and receiver photonic integrated circuit (TxPIC) chips in lieu of discrete modulated sources and detector sources with discrete multiplexers or demultiplexers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 12, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2009
    Assignee: Infinera Corporation
    Inventors: Jagdeep Singh, Drew Perkins, David F. Welch, Mark Yin, Fred A. Kish, Jr., Stephen G. Grubb, Robert R. Taylor, Vincent G. Dominic, Matthew L. Mitchell, James R. Dodd, Jr.
