  • Linear multi-output optical transmitter system
    Patent number: 6163395
    Abstract: A high fidelity, multi-output optical transmission system is configured utilizing a high power continuous wave YAG laser, multiport splitters, and linearized external modulation. An electro-optical modulator design in combination with a continuous wave laser, power splits and couplers attains a multi-octave bandwidth transmitter possessing improved second and third order distortion characteristics. The system includes multiple individually modulated transmitter outputs which effectively provides bandwidth multiplication with full redundancy for increased transmission reliability.
    Type: Grant

  • Wavelength division multiplexing system
    Patent number: 5953139
    Abstract: An analog lightwave communication system comprises at least two optical transmitters for providing optical information signals at different optical wavelengths. A dense wavelength division multiplexer includes at least two inputs for receiving the optical information signals from the optical transmitters and multiplexes the optical information signals to a composite optical signal at an output. Each input of the dense wavelength division multiplexer comprises at least one optical resonant cavity comprising first and second reflecting materials spaced to permit resonance at a selected wavelength. A fiber optic transmission system coupled to the output of the dense wavelength division multiplexer receives the composite optical signal.
