Optical Burst Transmitter - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18043925 Titled 'Optical Burst Transmitter'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a highly efficient optical burst transmitter. It consists of a control circuit that generates a data signal and a burst control signal. The transmitter also includes a semiconductor optical amplifier that produces an optical burst data signal by modulating the data signal. The control circuit and the semiconductor optical amplifier are connected by an electric line, which transmits the burst control signal. Additionally, there is an impedance matching circuit that ensures the characteristic impedance of the electric line and the semiconductor optical amplifier are matched.
Original Abstract Submitted
A highly efficient optical burst transmitter is provided. An embodiment is an optical burst transmitter including a control circuit configured to output a data signal and a burst control signal and a semiconductor optical amplifier configured to output an optical data signal modulated using the data signal as an optical burst data signal controlled using the burst control signal, the optical burst transmitter including: an electric line configured to connect the control circuit and the semiconductor optical amplifier and transmit the burst control signal; and an impedance matching circuit configured to impedance-match a characteristic impedance of the electric line and the semiconductor optical amplifier with each other.
