OPTICAL TRANSMITTER ARRANGEMENT FOR A PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK

摘要

Proposed is an optical transmitter arrangement of a self-seeding concept with colourless transmitters in an optical access network. An optical transmission unit generates an optical signal comprising a first signal component having a polarization state that lies within a first polarization plane and furthermore comprising a second signal component having a polarization state that lies within a second polarization plane orthogonal to the first polarization plane.
