Optical bus transmission method

摘要

In a method for transmitting on an optical connection (16) a sequence of input data (b(t)) comprising first ("1") and second ("0") logic states, there is envisaged the operation of providing an optical source (15) for generating an optical signal to be transmitted on said optical connection (16), said optical source (15) being able to generate optical pulses at the occurrence of said first ("1") logic states. The method comprises the operation of:   - encoding (470,570) said sequence of input data (b(t)) in an encoded sequence of data (B(t)) prior to transmission on said optical connection (16), where said encoding operation minimizes the first logic states ("1") in said encoded sequence of data (B(t)). A preferential application is to optical-fibre communication systems with on-chip integrated buses.
