    Abstract: A method for tuning a tunable optical transmitter to a target wavelength includes applying at least one tuning signal to the tunable optical transmitter to control the tunable optical transmitter to create an optical calibration signal according to nominal tuning information for the tunable optical transmitter. The optical calibration signal has a wavelength lying within a secure wavelength range, and the nominal tuning information is based on a nominal wavelength dependency for the tunable optical transmitter. The method also includes measuring a deviation between an actual wavelength dependency of the tunable optical transmitter and the nominal wavelength dependency, and determining calibration information based on that deviation. The calibration information is applied to determine a corrected nominal wavelength dependency from which target tuning information is determined. The tunable optical transmitter is controlled to create an optical channel signal according to the target tuning information.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting a binary digital transmit signal over an optical transmission link. The method includes the steps of creating a differential optical duobinary signal (SdODB(t)), supplying the differential optical duobinary signal SdODB(t)) to a first end of the optical transmission link, transmitting the differential optical duobinary signal SdODB(t)) to a second end of the optical transmission link, and receiving the differential optical duobinary signal SdODB(t)) as receive signal (SRX(t)) at the second end of the optical transmission link by detecting the optical power of the differential optical duobinary signal SdODB(t)) and creating a binary digital receive signal (SbRX(t)) corresponding to the binary digital transmit signal (SbTX(t)) by decoding the receive signal (SRX(t)). The differential optical duobinary signal SdODB(t)) may be created by pre-coding the binary digital transmit signal (SbTX(t)) having a given bit interval (T) into an intermediate pre-coded digital signal (Spi(t)), the pre-coding operation being identical with or equivalent to applying a non-XOR operation to the binary digital transmit signal (SbTX(t)) and the intermediate pre-coded digital signal delayed by a single bit interval (Spi(t−T)), again pre-coding the intermediate pre-coded digital signal (Spi(t)) into a pre-coded digital signal (Sp(t)), this second pre-coding operation being identical with or equivalent to applying a non-XOR operation to the intermediate pre-coded digital signal (Spi(t)) and the pre-coded digital signal delayed by a single bit interval (Sp(t−T)), duobinary encoding the pre-coded signal (Sp(t)) into a differential duobinary signal (SdDB(t)), and modulating an optical light source of an optical modulator device (15) having the predetermined optical wavelength using the differential duobinary signal (SdDB(t)) as modulate signal. Alternatively, the differential optical duobinary signal SdODB(t)) may be created by directly pre-coding the binary digital transmit signal (SbTX(t)) into the pre-coded digital signal (Sp,alt(t)), the pre-coding operation being identical with or equivalent to applying a non-XOR operation to the binary digital transmit signal (SbTX(t)) and the pre-coded digital signal delayed by twice the bit interval (Sp,alt(t−2T)), duobinary encoding the pre-coded signal (Sp,alt(t)) into the differential duobinary signal (SdDB(t)), and modulating the optical light source of the optical modulator device (15) using the differential duobinary signal (SdDB(t)) as modulate signal. Further, the invention relates to a transmitter device (1) and a receiver device (17, 17′) for realizing the transmission method according to the invention.

    Abstract: Arrangement for transmitting an optical digital WDM signal over an optical transmission link or a passive optical network, the signal (SWDM) including N optical channels matching a given optical frequency grid. The scheme includes supplying the WDM signal (SWDM) to a near end of the optical transmission link or a near end of the passive optical network; receiving the WDM signal (SWDM) at a far end of the optical transmission link or at one or more far ends of the passive optical network; separating the optical channel signals (si(t)) by splitting and bandpass filtering the WDM signal (SWDM) received; and converting the optical channel signals (si(t)) into electrical channel signals using direct optical detection. The signal (SWDM) is created such that neighboring channel signals (si(t)) are orthogonally polarized and are conditioned with specific pre-distortion.
