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 33):
A method of modulating an optical signal at a target data rate to an optical carrier in an optical communication system, comprising the steps of:\n modulating the optical signal using an optical modulator at a lower data rate of less than 0.75 of the target data rate, thereby generating inter-symbol interference, the modulator including: a modulator optical output port optically coupled to said carrier optical input port, and an optical modulator electrical input port; and generating an output optical signal using a SerializerDeserializer transmitter (SerDes TX) capable of compensating for the lower data rate optical modulator and generating an optical signal corresponding to the target data rate, and comprising: a SerDes TX electrical input port; and a SerDes TX electrical output port in communication with said optical modulator electrical input port; transmitting the output optical signal to the optical carrier at the carrier optical input port.
