The arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) which are commonly used as optical (de)multiplexers in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) fibre-optic communication systems are an example of a photonic integrated circuit. [9] Another example in fibre-optic communication systems is the externally modulated laser (EML) which combines a distributed feedback ...
An optical module is a typically hot-pluggable optical transceiver used in high-bandwidth data communications applications. Optical modules typically have an electrical interface on the side that connects to the inside of the system and an optical interface on the side that connects to the outside world through a fiber optic cable.
Some coherent optical modules can fall back to older, simpler modulation techniques such as on-off keying (NRZ) and/or Pulse-amplitude modulation with 4 levels (PAM-4) when appropriate. This is used, for example, when it is discovered that the module on the other end of the link does not support coherent modulation.
Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]
In telecommunications, an eye pattern, also known as an eye diagram, is an oscilloscope display in which a digital signal from a receiver is repetitively sampled and applied to the vertical input (y-axis), while the data rate is used to trigger the horizontal sweep (x-axis). It is so called because, for several types of coding, the pattern ...
A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.
It can also be applied to modules across a huge variation of functionality and capability. RF modules typically incorporate a printed circuit board, transmit or receive circuit, antenna, and serial interface for communication to the host processor. Most standard, well known types are covered here: transmitter module; receiver module ...
[3] [48] An important example is all-optical switching, whereby the routing of optical signals is directly controlled by other optical signals. [49] Another example is all-optical wavelength conversion. [50] In 2013, a startup company named "Compass-EOS", based in California and in Israel, was the first to present a commercial silicon-to ...
