Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé, un dispositif et un système d'initialisation de la longueur d'onde d'un laser réglable. Le système selon la présente invention comprend : un processeur (12), une mémoire (13) et un sous-ensemble optique bidirectionnel. Le processeur (12) est respectivement connecté à un laser réglable (14) et à un récepteur réglable (17) au sein du sous-ensemble optique bidirectionnel, et est destiné à recevoir la puissance de signal d'un signal de liaison montante obtenu par le récepteur réglable (17), le signal de liaison montante étant le signal de liaison montante s'inscrivant dans une première plage de longueurs d'onde du laser réglable ; à obtenir une puissance de signal maximale, le signal de liaison montante correspondant à celle-ci étant le signal de liaison montante correspondant à la longueur d'onde cible d'initialisation du laser réglable (14) ; à obtenir les paramètres pour le laser réglable correspondant à la puissance de signal maximale ; et à commander le laser réglable (14) afin qu'il transmette le signal de liaison montante correspondant à la longueur d'onde cible d'initialisation selon les paramètres pour le laser réglable. La présente invention simplifie le procédé d'initialisation et réduit les coûts d'initialisation.
