Abstract:
A device and method of optical equalization using an optical modulator is provided. An electrical modulation signal is split into a first modulation signal and a second modulation signal. The second modulation signal is delayed relative to the first modulation signal. An amplitude of the second modulation signal is attenuated relative to the first modulation signal. The first modulation signal is applied to a first waveguide segment of the optical modulator. The second modulation signal that is delayed and attenuated relative to the first modulation signal is applied to a second waveguide segment of the optical modulator. Both the applied first and second modulation signals generate a feed-forward equalized optical signal that is recombined in the optical domain.

Claim (Index 9):
The optical communication system of  claim 1 , wherein the feed-forward equalization circuit comprises a pre-amplifier that is shared between the first tap and the second tap.
