The PLM is responsive to a plurality of data streams (PDM-R, PDM-L), to generate a series of data pulses (PLM) with a single data pulse having a rising and falling edge in each of a plurality of transfer periods defined by a first clock signal (TCLK). The timing of the rising and falling edge of each data pulse is dependent upon a combination of the then current data samples from the plurality of data streams. The duration and position of the data pulse in the transfer window in effect defines a data symbol encoding the data. Circuitry for receiving and extracting the data is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11356180
    Abstract: Consistent with the present disclosure a network is provided that includes a primary node and a plurality of secondary nodes. The primary node, as well as each of the secondary nodes, includes a laser that is “shared” between the transmit and receive sections. That is, light output from the laser is used for transmission as well as for coherent detection. In the coherent receiver, the frequency of the primary node laser is detected and, based on such detected frequency, the frequency of the secondary node laser is adjusted to detect the received information or data. Such frequency detection also serves to adjust the transmitted signal frequency, because the laser is shared between the transmit and receive portions in each secondary receiver. Light output from the primary node laser, which is also shared between transmit and receive portions in the primary node, is thus also set to a frequency that permits detection of each of the incoming optical signals by way of coherent detection.
