Abstract: An analog signal processor includes a sampling unit configured to (i) filter, in the frequency domain, a received time domain analog signal into a low-frequency end of a corresponding frequency spectrum, (ii) sample the filtered analog signal at a frequency substantially higher than the low-frequency end, and (iii) spread quantization noise over an expanded Nyquist zone of the corresponding frequency spectrum. The processor further includes a noise shaping unit configured to shape the spread quantization noise out of the low-frequency end of the corresponding frequency spectrum such that the filtered analog signal and the shaped quantization noise are substantially separated in the frequency domain, and a quantization unit configured to apply delta-sigma modulation to the filtered analog signal using at least one quantization bit, and output a digitized bit stream that substantially follows the amplitude of the received time domain analog signal.

Abstract: An optical full-field transmitter for an optical communications network includes a primary laser source configured to provide a narrow spectral linewidth for a primary laser signal, and a first intensity modulator in communication with a first amplitude data source. The first intensity modulator is configured to output a first amplitude-modulated optical signal from the laser signal. The transmitter further includes a first phase modulator in communication with a first phase data source and the first amplitude-modulated optical signal. The first phase modulator is configured to output a first two-stage full-field optical signal. The primary laser source has a structure based on a III-V compound semiconductor.

Abstract: A local communication network (LCN) is contemplated. The LCN may be established within an existing network by leveraging network capabilities in order to facilitate local communications of the type whereby point-to-point (P-to-P) or other types of messaging and/or signaling may be communicated directly between devices without having to be relayed through a headend, a termination system or other processing entity.

Abstract: A method for chromatic dispersion pre-compensation in an optical communication network includes (1) distorting an original modulated signal according to an inverse of a transmission function of the optical communication network, to generate a compensated signal, (2) modulating a magnitude of an optical signal in response to a magnitude of the compensated signal, and (3) modulating a phase of the optical signal, after modulating the magnitude of the optical signal, in response to a phase of the compensated signal.

Abstract: A skew compensation system for a coherent optical communication network includes a transmitter modulator having a first driver input for receiving a first signal from a first channel, a second driver input for receiving a second signal from a second channel, a source input for receiving a continuous wave source signal, and a modulation output in communication with an optical transport medium of the network. The system further includes a tunable delay line disposed between the second channel and the second driver input for inserting a pre-determined training sequence onto the second signal prior to the second driver input, and a processor for determining a skew amount between the second signal at the second driver input and the first signal at the first driver input, calculating a pre-compensation value corresponding to the skew amount, and reducing the skew amount at the modulation output according to the pre-compensation value.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for network communications to reduce optical beat interference (OBI) in upstream communications are described. For example, a fiber node may provide a narrow band seed source to injection lock upstream laser diodes. Therefore, upstream communications from each injection locked laser diode may primarily include the wavelength associated with each seed source. The seed sources may be unique to each end device and configured to minimize OBI. That is, the upstream laser diodes may be generic, but the received seed source may enable upstream communications at varying wavelengths. The fiber node may provide each seed source by filtering (e.g., by a grating filter) a broadband light source.
