Abstract:
A skew compensation apparatus and method. In an optical system that uses optical signals, skew may be generated as the optical signals are processed from an input optical signal to at least two electrical signals representative of the phase-differentiated optical signals. A compensation of the skew is provided by including an optical delay line in the path of the optical signal that does not suffer the skew (e.g., that serves as the time base for the skew measurement). The optical delay line introduces a delay T skew  equal to the delay suffered by the optical signal that is not taken as the time base. The two signals are thereby corrected for skew.

Claim (Index 36):
The system according to  claim 34 , wherein the receiver further comprises respective photodiodes and electrical amplifiers for converting each of said first, second, third and fourth optical component signals into the first, a second, a third and a fourth electrical component signals, and thereby contributing to the generation of the timing delays in the second, third and fourth electrical component signals.
