Abstract:
Methods and systems for all optical tunable equalizers may include an optical modulator comprising an input waveguide, first and second directional couplers, phase modulators, an optical delay, and an optical attenuator. The optical modulator may be operable to receive an input optical signal via the input waveguide, couple a portion of the input optical signal to a second waveguide via the first directional coupler, modulate a phase of optical signals in the input waveguide and the second waveguide using the phase modulators, and couple a feedback optical signal to the first directional coupler via the second directional coupler, the optical delay, and the optical attenuator. The optical modulator may be operable to communicate an output signal of said optical modulator from a first output of the second directional coupler. The optical modulator may be operable to communicate the feedback optical signal from a second output of the second directional coupler.

Claim (Index 20):
The system according to  claim 19 , wherein the optical modulator is operable to communicate an output signal of said optical modulator from a first output of the third directional coupler.
