  • Mechanism to increase an optical link distance
    Publication number: 20070297733
    Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system includes an optical fiber and a transceiver coupled to the optical fiber. The transceiver may operate according to both a single mode operation and a multi-mode operation.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 26, 2006
    Publication date: December 27, 2007
    Inventors: Thomas Mader, Peter Kirkpatrick, Jan Weem
  • Mechanism for conditioning launched beams from an optical transmitter
    Publication number: 20070274629
    Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system includes an optical waveguide; and an optical transmitter coupled to the optical waveguide. The transmitter includes a optical relay to condition a launch of an optical beam into the optical waveguide to minimize a number of optical modes launched into the optical waveguide.
    Type: Application
