The invention relates to a method and a modulator circuit for modulating light in a modulator circuit. The modulator circuit comprises a Mach-Zehnder modulator having at least one optical input and at least one optical output, said Mach-Zehnder modulator modulating light, which is fed to the input of the Mach-Zehnder modulator in response to applied electrical modulation signals from a driver circuit. According to a method of the invention, the applied modulation signal on the electrodes of the Mach-Zehnder modulator is superimposed by a pilot tone which is thus superimposed by the modulated light emitted by the Mach-Zehnder modulator. In response to the emitted modulated light, an electrical feedback circuit generates bias control signals for the bias circuit and driver control signals for the driver circuit for regulating the bias signal and the driver signal fed to the Mach-Zehnder modulator. |
