Abstract
A Kramers-Kronig receiver that may include a reception path; wherein the reception path may include a photodiode that is configured to receive a received signal and output a photocurrent that represents the received signal; wherein the received signal comprises a continuous wave (CW) signal and a modulated signal; wherein a frequency gap between the CW signal and the modulated signal is smaller than a bandwidth of the modulated signal; an analog to digital converter that is configured to generate a digital representation of the photocurrent; and a digital processor that is configured to process the digital representation of the photocurrent to provide a reconstructed modulated signal, wherein the processing is based on a Kramers-Kronig relationship related to the received signal.
