A high capacity optical transmitter implemented on a photonic integrated circuit chip comprises a single light source which supplies a continuous wave having a particular wavelength to a plurality of modulators to form modulated optical information signals. A phase shifter is coupled to at least one of the modulators and is used to shift the phase of the corresponding modulated optical information signal associated with a particular modulator. A polarization beam combiner receives each of the modulated optical information signals from the modulators and the modulated optical information signal from the phase shifter and combines each of these signals to form a polarization multiplexed differential quadrature phase-shift keying signal. The light source, the plurality of modulators, the phase shifter and the polarization beam combiner are all integrated on the chip.

The disclosure is directed toward improved methods and apparatus for producing PSK signals. Commonly, such signals as Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) are produced by coupling the outputs of an encoder to finite impulse response (FIR) filters. The filters shape the path that the signal takes between the transmission of one symbol and the next symbol The present disclosure discloses a method of generating a signal so that the path taken between transmitted symbols is determined by looking up the intermediate values along the path, using a look-up table. An embodiment of the disclosure receives the present symbol and the next symbol to be transmitted and then serially accesses a series of intermediate points comprising a preferred signal path between the present symbol and the next symbol to be transmitted. Commonly some PSK signals are transmitted by processing the phase and the amplitude of the signal separately. In those applications it is common to delay the amplitude portion of the signal in an analog delay line in order to ensure that the recombined signal will have the proper relationship of phase and amplitude. One preferred embodiment adds a phase offset to the phase signal instead of adding a delay to the amplitude signal. Another preferred embodiment performs phase amplitude synchronization by introducing phase offsets in the look-up table values which represent the signal path between sequentially transmitted signals. The phase offset achieves the same result as the traditional amplitude delay mechanism in synchronizing the phase and amplitude portions of the signal without the traditional delay line hardware.

In an optical receiver according to the present invention, an input signal light subjected to the differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) is incident on a PANDA type fiber in a linearly polarized state by 45°, so that a delay time difference corresponding to one symbol is generated between orthogonal polarization components in the DQPSK signal light, and then, the signal light is branched by a half mirror into two, to be sent to first and second paths respectively, thereby giving, by a ¼ wave plate disposed on one of the paths, a relative birefringent amount difference of π / 2 between the lights propagated through the respective paths. Then, each of the lights propagated through the first and second paths is separated into two orthogonal polarization components by a polarization beam splitter, and the respective polarization components are received by a differential reception circuit so that in-phase components and quadrature components in the DQPSK signal are demodulated. Thus, a small sized and low cost optical receiver capable of stably demodulating the DQPSK signal is provided.
