Title: Optical polarisation control
IPC: G02F1/21
Filed: 1986-12-29
Abstract: The invention provides methods and devices for processing an optical signal. In one embodiment, an optical device (101) for scrambling an input optical signal comprises an optical switch (10) which switches the optical signal between two intermediate optical paths (13,14) under control of a scrambling signal from a control circuit (12). The polarisation of the signal in one of the intermediate optical paths (13) is rotated by a TE-TM converter (15). The polarisations of the two intermediate signals are thereby made mutually orthogonal. These mutually orthogonal signals are then recombined by a directional coupler (16) to provide a combined output optical signal with a scrambled polarisation alternating between othogonal states according to the frequency of the scrambling signal. The invention may be applied to improve signal reception, for example, in coherent optical transmission systems.

Patent GB-9408576-D0 (GB)
Title: Receiver arrangement
IPC: H04B10/10
Filed: 1994-04-29
Abstract: An infrared remote-control receiver employs at its front end a gyrator-configured transistor (12) operating as a current-to-voltage converter, but derives its data information from a negative-going gyrator output pulse in preference to the more conventionally used positive-going pulse. This negative-going pulse may be wider than the positive-going pulse and reduces the bandwidth demand on subsequent processing circuitry. This enables low-bandwidth, low-current hardware to be used which makes the receiver ideal for use in battery-operated systems. Also, the negative-going pulse is easier to detect, as it directly follows a disturbance known to be in the opposite direction. The result is an increased receiver sensitivity. <IMAGE>
