Abstract
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes an optical transmitter system that defines an interferometric structure and has an in-phase portion and a quadrature portion. The optical transmitter system has a transmission configuration and a calibration configuration. The interferometric structure can produce an output associated with a skew between the in-phase portion and the quadrature portion of the optical transmitter system when in the calibration configuration. The skew is associated with a digital domain, an analog domain and an optical domain of the optical transmitter system.
