OPTICAL DATA TRANSFER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240304216 titled 'OPTICAL DATA TRANSFER
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system where a beam modulator embeds data in an input beam, which is then guided through a multimode optical waveguide network. A spatial coherent detector measures the output optical field to compensate for distortion effects caused by the waveguide network, allowing for the recovery of the embedded data.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Beam modulator embeds data in an input beam
- Multimode optical waveguide network guides the beam
- Spatial coherent detector measures output optical field
- Signal processing compensates for distortion effects
- Enables recovery of embedded data from the output
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in optical communication systems, data transfer applications, and optical signal processing.
Problems Solved: The system addresses distortion effects caused by the passage of a beam through a multimode waveguide network, allowing for accurate recovery of embedded data.
Benefits:
- Improved data transfer accuracy
- Enhanced optical signal processing capabilities
- Increased efficiency in optical communication systems
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include telecommunications, data centers, and optical networking industries.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to optical data transfer systems, beam modulation techniques, and spatial coherent detectors.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in optical communication technologies, signal processing algorithms, and waveguide network designs.
Questions about Optical Data Transfer Systems: 1. How does the spatial coherent detector compensate for distortion effects in the output optical field? 2. What are the potential limitations of using a multimode optical waveguide network in data transfer systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
in an optical data transfer system, a beam modulator is configured to embed a set of data in an input beam. a multimode optical waveguide network has an in-coupling region for receiving the input beam. the multimode optical waveguide network is configured to guide the input beam to an out-coupling region of the multimode optical waveguide network. a spatial coherent detector is configured to measure a phase and an amplitude of an output optical field at multiple locations. the output optical field is at least partially defined by the input beam and thus exhibiting distortion effects caused by the passage of the beam through the multimode waveguide network. signal processing is applied to an output of the spatial coherent detector, in order to compensate for the distortion effects, and thereby recover, from the output of the spatial coherent detector, the set of data embedded in the input beam.
