TRANSMITTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING A BROADBAND, OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
Abstract
The present invention relates to a transmitting device (10) for transmitting a broadband, optical transmission signal via an optical waveguide (40), comprising an electronic subsystem (20) and an optical subsystem (30), the optical subsystem (30) having N electro-optic modulators (35) for providing N optical signal components, where N is a number greater than 1, the electronic subsystem (20) being configured to transform a baseband signal into a frequency spectrum having N digital coefficient signals (21) by way of a Fourier transform, in particular a discrete Fourier transform, and to provide N analog coefficient signals (22) on the basis of the N digital coefficient signals (21), and the electro-optic modulators (35) of the optical subsystem (30) being configured to be controlled by in each case one of the N analog coefficient signals (22). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for transmitting a broadband, optical transmission signal via an optical waveguide (40), by means of a transmitting device (10) of this type.
