METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPTIMIZING AN OPTICAL TRANSFER SIGNAL MODULATED WITH A BINARY DATA SIGNAL

摘要

A method and system for optimization of an optical transmissions signal which is modulated with a binary data signal, wherein a control device ensures that the operating point and the modulation signal of a Mach-Zehnder modulator are set optimally, with the fundamental frequency and/or the first harmonic frequency of the transmission signal being selected for this purpose, and an optimum setting is reached when the amplitude of the fundamental frequency has reached a maximum value and the amplitude of the harmonic frequency has reached a minimum value.
