SYSTEM, METHOD, TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER FOR OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

The system comprises: a transmitter (T) formed by a demultiplexer and a multiplexer including optical elements (C1, C2) which, together with a modulator (M1) disposed therebetween, allow the sub-beams of an input light beam (H1) to be used as optical channels for the transmission of data in the form of a multiplexed light beam (HM); and a receiver (R) which is disposed to receive the aforementioned beam after it has passed through the transmission means and which comprises a demultiplexer including an optical element (C3) which recovers the optical channels of the multiplexed light beam (HM). The method is adapted to be carried out using the system of the invention. The transmitter and the receiver are adapted to perform the functions of the transmitter and the receiver of the system of the invention respectively.
