Abstract
Systems and methods for optical communication using single source optical transmission are disclosed. A representative method includes receiving optical signals at a first frequency by a receiver (RX) from an optical fiber. The received optical signals are routed to a modulator that modulates the optical signals at a second frequency. The optical signals are emitted by a transmitter (TX) back to the optical fiber at the second frequency.
