ABSTRACT:
Orthogonal optical signals on a common waveguide are obtained by power splitting a light signal into a split waveguide, modulating at least one of the split signals and recombining the signals. The orthogonal signals may be obtained by separating the signals in frequency or by quadrature encoding. Frequency translation may be obtained by continuously varying an applied voltage to vary the dielectric constant of a leg of the split waveguide. One of the signals may also be frequency, phase or amplitude modulated. This split waveguide may serve as the frequency shifter and modulator in a three-frequency heterodyne system.
