Abstract

See full text

Look-ahead control techniques and a variable attenuator are used to solve the known problem of differential attenuation of photonic intensities between time slots are delayed differently in delay paths that have different losses which optical time slot interchangers have. The result of the look-ahead control techniques and variable attenuator is a data frame in which the widely varying photonic intensities are equalized to a substantially similar level, thereby greatly reducing the bit error rate of the downstream receiver/demodulator.
