    摘要: A pilot tone generator receives optical energy from an optical communication medium carrying a plurality of optical signals. Each optical signal carries data modulated at a unique wavelength and further modulated with a unique identification signal. The identification signal has an amplitude corresponding to an optical power of the associated optical signal. The pilot tone receiver detects each identification signal from the optical energy received and determines its corresponding amplitude. The pilot tone receiver calculates the optical power of each optical signal in the optical energy in response to the amplitude of the associated identification signal.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus related to maintaining a pre-determined ratio of a pilot tone power and a total mean optical power of an optical signal are provided. One method includes the steps of detecting the AC and DC components of an optical signal having a pilot tone signal. An amplitude of the pilot tone signal is varied in accordance with a difference between a pre-determined value and a ratio of the AC and DC components. Another method includes the step of generating an optical signal in accordance with a DC bias and an AC bias corresponding to a pilot tone signal. The AC and DC components of the optical signal are detected. At least one of the DC bias and the AC bias is varied in accordance with a difference between a pre-determined value and a ratio of the AC and DC components. An apparatus includes an optical source providing an optical signal in response to a DC bias and an AC bias corresponding to a pilot tone signal. The apparatus includes detectors coupled to measure the AC and DC components of the optical signal. A feedback control varies at least one of the DC bias and the AC bias in accordance with a difference between a pre-determined value and a ratio of the AC and DC components. In various embodiments, the DC bias only, the AC bias only, or both the AC bias and the DC bias are varied.
