How coherent optics increase data rates
Modulation and polarization multiply data capacity on optical networks. In the beginning of optical networks, all optical signals were based on a simple mechanism known as on-off keying (OOK). In simple terms, this mechanism works by switching a light on and off to transmit data. OOK is a wider definition for representing whether data is…
