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 16):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein causing the first laser to emit the first optical signal comprises modulating the first laser with an electrical current of about 30 mA or less and a data rate of about 2 GHz or greater.
