Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé, un appareil et un système de transmission optique se rapportant au domaine technique des communications. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : coder un signal de modulation d'impulsion en amplitude à N niveau (PAM-N) à transmettre en vue d'obtenir un premier signal codé, le premier signal codé comprenant N-1 niveaux de premier entier positif, 1 niveau zéro et N-1 niveaux d'entier négatif, N ≥ 3 et N étant un entier ; dévier respectivement les N-1 niveaux de premier entier positif ou les N-1 niveaux d'entier négatif selon une première quantité de déviation, de telle sorte que le premier signal codé est commuté vers un second signal codé, la première quantité de déviation étant une décimale ; moduler le second signal codé en un signal optique ; et envoyer le signal optique à un récepteur optique. Grâce au procédé, un récepteur optique peut démoduler un signal optique PAM-N à l'aide d'un procédé de détection directe lorsqu'un signal codé du signal PAM-N comprend un niveau négatif, afin de réduire la complexité d'un émetteur optique et d'un récepteur optique.
