ABSTRACT:
Optical telecommunication systems using phase-compensation interferometry wherein receiver units have N interferometer configurations each with a unique path length difference that is identical to a path length difference in one of N interferometer configurations at the corresponding transmitter units. The transmitter and receiver units separately and individually use N+1 arms, one of which serves as a reference common to the other N arms that along with the common reference arm form the N interferometer configurations of the transmitter and receiver units. N phase modulators, one in each of the N paths of the transmission units, are used to apply a separate and individual telecommunication signal (payload) to the portion of the light in that path. These N separate payloads may be of the same or different protocols. These N separate payloads may have the same or different bit rate/second. These N separate payloads may be digital or analog. These N payloads may be individually and separately dropped out or inserted at a drop/insert site. These N separate payloads may be used to increase the capacity of a transmission path by a factor of up to N. These N separate payloads may be used to employ lower bit rate/second electrons to produce a higher bit rate/second payload where the increased in bit rate/second is a factor of up to N.
