A microwave spectral approach for aligning high speed data and soliton pulse trains in dual Mach-Zehnder modulator optical transmitters

摘要: It has been shown that pulse carver and data modulator misalignment can be determined solely from microwave spectral measurements made on the transmitter optical output signal. This approach does not require introduction of dither tones or any aberrations to desired A possible technique for using this information detect correct problem demonstrated. looks have much promise as a commercial solution problem. Simulation results support laboratory findings indicate even with normal system parameter variations, proposed should work well.
