Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring chirp in a modulated light beam. The modulated light is passed through a variable dispersion element or “VDE”, and the light from the variable dispersion element is detected to yield a signal. A parameter which represents the strength of modulation in the light after passage through the VDE such as the peak intensity of the modulated light is measured as the VDE is controlled to vary the applied dispersion. The chip is determined from the variation of the parameter with dispersion, such as from the dispersions at which the parameter is at minima. The method can be applied to beams modulated by common digital transmitters used in optical communication systems.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a system for incorporating a CVBG (Chirped Volume Bragg Grating) into a prism to form a P-CVBG (Prism-Chirped Volume Bragg Grating) optical element for channel dispersion compensation. A prism region is configured to receive optical signals with multiple wavelengths and provide the wavelengths to the CVBG region by spatially separating the optical signals into various wavelengths. The CVBG region is configured to compensate for dispersion of the multiple wavelengths by reflecting the various wavelengths at different depths within the gratings of the CVBG region.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for data processing. If a kernel module sends a data calling request to a userspace process, first modification time information and second modification time information of data corresponding to the data calling request are obtained by the userspace process. The first and second modification time information are used to indicate modification time information of the data in the kernel module and in a file service end, respectively. The first and second modification time information are compared by the userspace process. If the first and second modification time information are inconsistent, a verification invalidation result is returned to the kernel module. The data in the kernel module is invalidated by the kernel module according to the verification invalidation result. The data in the file service is synchronized by the userspace process to the kernel module.
