摘要： In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a system for optical signal dispersion and parameter monitoring comprises a tunable filter configured to filter a portion of one channel of an optical signal. The system comprises a polarization beam splitter configured to split the portion into first and second polarization beams and further comprises first and second photodetectors configured to respectively convert the first and second polarization beams into first and second electrical signals. Also, the system comprises a control unit configured to determine optical dispersion in the portion based on the first and second electrical signals when the portion includes a test signal. The control unit is configured to determine optical signal parameters of the portion such as channel power, channel wavelength, optical spectrum analysis (OSA) and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) based on the first and second electrical signals when the portion does not include the test signal.

摘要： In accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention, a device for modulating an optical beam is provided. The device may include a substrate comprising a non-ferromagnetic material and a thin film comprising a ferromagnetic semiconductor material disposed on the substrate. The thin film may be disposed on the substrate such that at least part of an optical beam incident on the thin film at an angle reflects off of a surface of the thin film. The thin film may be responsive to a magnetic field applied to the thin film such that varying the magnetic field varies the polarization of the light beam reflected off of the surface of the thin film.

摘要： A method for upgrading an optoelectrical system includes securing a transmitter to a line card, wherein the line card comprises an optoelectrical connector. It also includes coupling the transmitter to the connector, wherein the connector comprises an embedded fiber configured to be coupled to the transmitter. In addition, the method includes inserting a pluggable form factor module comprising a receiver, an input port, and an output port into a cage secured to the line card. Further, the method includes coupling the pluggable form factor module to the connector such that an optical signal transmitted by the transmitter propagates in an optical line of sight between the embedded fiber of the connector and the output port. The connector comprises electrical contacts that are configured to be coupled to the module such that the receiver can convert optical signals received at the input port into electrical signals and transmit the electrical signals to the line card via the connector.
