Abstract

See full text

In a transmission system, a control circuit (4) receives an input binary sequence (T) representing data to be transmitted. The circuit encodes the sequence using a phase alternation code which differs from the phase inversion duobinary code in that the phase shifts applied to a carrier wave are less than 90 degrees. For this purpose, a semiconductor chip (3) includes a laser transmitter and an electro-absorption modulator having two segments. The chip generates said carrier wave and modulates it using the encoded sequence. An optical fiber (54) conveys the modulated wave. And a detector diode (58) receives the conveyed wave and performs intensity discrimination thereon so as to restore the input binary sequence.
