Abstract: An optical pulse generator (10), consisting of a
semiconductor device (25) and an optical output assembly
(17, 20, 12). The semiconductor device includes an
optically-active region (28) having a gain section (31)
and a saturable absorber (SA) section (33), which are
adapted to generate coherent optical pulses. The device
also includes an output facet (24) for coupling
therethrough of the optical pulses generated in the
optically-active region, and an SA electrode (34) for
application of a radio-frequency, (RF) modulation of a
desired frequency to the SA section. 
     The optical output assembly is optically coupled to
the output facet of the semiconductor device so as to
partially reflect the coherent optical pulses within a
predetermined wavelength range. The assembly is
positioned so as to form, together with the semiconductor
device, a laser cavity (11) having a resonant wavelength
within the predetermined wavelength range and having an
optical length such that a period of the RF modulation
substantially equals a round-trip time for one of the
pulses in the cavity, whereby the coherent optical pulses
are output through the optical output assembly at a
repetition rate substantially equal to the RF modulation.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for streaming scalable video data over a variable-bandwidth network such as a packet-based one. In other words, the number of bits (for FGS) or sub-layers (for discrete multi-layer scalability) is chosen to be transmitted for each enhancement layer frame. Further, these bits or sub-layers are also partitioned over multiple packets if being sent over a packet-based network. Further, a windowing function is used to smooth the variation in the number of bits or sub-layers transmitted for each frame in situations where the network bandwidth is varying.
