Patent ID: 7215893

Claim:
A fiber optic communication system within a mobile platform, said system comprising: a light source adapted to emit a system optical signal; an electrical signal source adapted to provide a data input electrical signal; and a feed forward photonic modulation circuit adapted to receive the data input electrical signal and the system optical signal and output a final modulated optical signal substantially free from residual error, the feed forward photonic modulation circuit comprising: a first portion adapted to receive the data input electrical signal and the system optical signal generate a first modulated optical signal having a first wavelength, and split the first modulated optical signal into a first segment and a second segment; and a second portion adapted to receive the data input electrical signal, the system optical signal and the second segment of the first modulated optical signal, generate a second modulated optical signal having a second wavelength, and combine the second segment of the first modulated optical signal with the second modulated optical signal to generate a summed optical signal.
