ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic transmitter comprising a digital driver adapted to adjust the crossing point of a digital base signal, an optical source adapted to receive the digital base signal and produce a frequency modulated optical signal, and an optical spectrum reshaper adapted to convert the frequency modulated optical signal to an amplitude modulated optical signal.A method for transmitting a signal, comprising:adjusting the crossing point of a digital base signal;providing the adjusted signal to an optical source to produce a frequency modulated optical signal; andproviding the frequency modulated optical signal to an optical spectrum reshaper to convert the frequency modulated optical signal to an amplitude modulated optical signal.
