Abstract:
An apparatus for generating a processed optical signal includes a first laser configured to emit a first optical signal in response to a first drive signal. The first optical signal has a first phase shift depending on a first integrated amplitude of the first drive signal. The apparatus also includes a spectral-temporal filter, in optical communication with the first laser, to change a first spectral profile and a first temporal profile of the first optical pulse so as to generate the processed optical signal. Replacing a conventional continuous-wave (CW) laser and external modulation with filter-based modulation can achieve the same or better performance without high-fidelity low-noise input signals.

Claim (Index 8):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first optical signal is at a first carrier wavelength, and the apparatus further comprises:\n a second laser configured to emit a second optical signal in response to a second drive signal, the second optical signal having a second phase shift based on the second drive signal and a second carrier wavelength different from the first carrier wavelength of the first optical signal; and a wavelength-division multiplexer in optical communication with the first laser and the second laser and configured to multiplex the first optical signal and the second optical signal, wherein the spectral filter is configured to change a second spectral profile of the second optical signal and the temporal filter is configured to change a second temporal profile of the second optical signal.
