  • Light processor providing wavelength control and method for same
    Publication number: 20050083523
    Abstract: A light processor (such as a spectrometer) providing wavelength equalization for a sample pathway and a reference pathway by actuation of a light amplitude modulator. A chemometric processor including a light amplitude modulator capable of performing chemical analysis by applying weights to wavelengths of light, thereby reducing the need for electronic post processing.

  • Methods and apparatus for monitoring the strength of carriers in an optical communication system
    Publication number: 20050002677
    Abstract: A strength monitor for a wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) communication system in which the carriers comprising WDM signal do not need to spatially separated to determine their strengths. The strength monitor provides local modulation of a carrier to measured. In some embodiments, a strength monitor uses a digital channel equalizer to modulate a given carrier whose strength is to be measured.
