  • Systems and methods for receiving optical pulses
    Patent number: 9170152
    Abstract: Various embodiments for facilitating optical communications utilizing a apparatus are disclosed. One embodiment, among others, is an apparatus that comprises a dispersion element configured to transmit a beam through a plurality of optical paths in a spectral dispersion element to generate a spectrally dispersed beam. The apparatus further comprises a second-harmonic generation (SHG) element integrated into the dispersion element, the SHG element configured to generate second-harmonic light beam from the dispersed beam by splitting the dispersed beam into a plurality of beams, wherein the plurality of beams traverse a common axis. The apparatus further comprises a collimator configured to collimate the second-harmonic light beam over a predetermined path length and a phase decoder configured to receive the collimated beam and measure characteristics associated with the collimated beam.

  • Optical communications using spectral interferometry
    Patent number: 7796268
    Abstract: Optical communications can be performed using spectral interferometry. An incident transmission pulse or beam may be mixed with a locally generated beam or pulse to create an interference pattern that may be analyzed to extract the transmitted data. The incident transmission pulse or beam may also be split and mixed with itself to create an interference pattern.
