OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD, OPTICAL MODULE, AND APPARATUS USED IN OPTICAL MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464196 titled 'OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD, OPTICAL MODULE, AND APPARATUS USED IN OPTICAL MODULE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an optical communication system that consists of multiple optical modules connected through optical interfaces. The first optical interface of the first module is connected to a peer end through a common optical fiber. The second optical interface of each module is connected to the first optical interface of the next module in the sequence.
- The optical communication system includes N optical modules at the local end.
- Each optical module has a first and second optical interface.
- The first optical interface of the first module is connected to a peer end through a common optical fiber.
- The second optical interface of each module is connected to the first optical interface of the next module.
- The connection pattern follows a sequential order, where the second interface of module i is connected to the first interface of module (i+1).
- This pattern is repeated for i = 1 to N-1.
Potential Applications:
- High-speed data transmission in telecommunications networks.
- Optical networking systems for data centers.
- Fiber optic communication in industrial automation.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient and reliable optical communication between multiple modules.
- Simplified connectivity and interconnection of optical interfaces.
- Minimizing signal loss and degradation in the communication system.
Benefits:
- Increased data transmission capacity and speed.
- Improved reliability and stability of optical communication.

Original Abstract Submitted
An optical communication system includes N optical modules at the local end. Each optical module includes a first optical interface and a second optical interface. A first optical interface of a first optical module in each of the N optical modules at the local end is connected to a peer end through a common optical fiber. A second optical interface of an ioptical module in the N optical modules at the local end is connected to a first optical interface of an (i+1)th optical module in the N optical modules at the local end, and i=1, 2, . . . , N−1.
