Abstract
An optical pulse retiming and reshaping circuit for soliton transmission in a transmission system with distributed amplifiers transmits the pulses through an optical modulator, uses a slow photodiode to determine the mean power transmitted (or intercepted) by the modulator. This is used for generating a control signal for use in a phase-locked loop to regulate the phase of an oscillator driving the modulator.
