Abstract:
A high data rate, high sensitivity, low power optical link using low-bandwidth components and low-bandwidth E/O drivers and receivers and method of building same. The method is based on the idea of making the optical part of the link look like a bandwidth limited lossy electrical channel, so that the powerful equalization methods used in the wireline electrical links can be applied to recover the transmitted data in a situation with low bandwidth and/or high loss and strong inter-symbol interference. Linear and non-linear optical channel components, E/O drivers and receivers can benefit from the apparatus and the methods of the invention.

Claim (Index 25):
A system for transmitting and receiving an optical signal via an optical carrier, comprising:\n an optical modulator capable of receiving an electrical signal at a target data rate, but only capable of operating at a lower data rate of less than 0.75 of the target data rate, thereby generating inter-symbol interference, and including:\n a modulator optical output port in communication with the optical carrier, and \n an optical modulator electrical input port; and \n a SerializerDeserializer transmitter (SerDes TX), capable of transmitting an optical signal based on the electrical signal; an optical demodulator capable of receiving the optical signal, and including:\n a demodulator optical input port in communication with the optical carrier, and \n an optical demodulator electrical output port; and \n a SerializerDeserializer receiver (SerDes RX), capable of compensating for the lower data rate optical modulator, and generating an electric signal corresponding to the target data rate, including:\n a SerDes RX electrical input port in communication with said optical demodulator electrical output port, and \n a SerDes RX electrical output port.
