Abstract

An optical communications system is described which is capable of transmission and detection of 1-Gbċs ^-1 pulse-code modulation (PCM) word patterns. Modulation of an argon laser beam is obtained with a lithium tantalate (LiTaO 3 ) modulator rod using a traveling-wave interaction. The high-speed electrical modulation signal is obtained by a multiplexing of four separate information channels.
