Abstract

See full text

An optical communications system includes a hub modem and a set of two or more remote modems. Each remote modem includes a transmitter stage for transmitting a respective uplink data stream within a selected one of a set of two or more sub-channels. The hub modem optically communicates with the set of remote modems. The hub modem includes a receiver stage having an optical front-end for receiving an uplink optical channel signal within a spectral range that encompasses the set of two or more spectral sub-bands; a photodetector for detecting modulation components of the received uplink optical channel signal and for generating a corresponding high bandwidth analog signal; and a digital signal processor for processing the high bandwidth analog signal to recover the respective uplink data stream transmitted by each remote modem.
