Abstract

See full text

An optical transmitter is discloses having a gain section and a phase section. The phase section is modulated to generate a frequency modulated signal encoding data. The frequency modulated signal is transmitted through an optical spectrum reshaper operable to convert it into a frequency and amplitude modulated signal. In some embodiments, a driving circuit is coupled to the phase and gain sections is configured to simultaneously modulate both the phase and gain sections such that the first signal is both frequency and amplitude modulated.
