A target constellation diagram determining method, a data sending method, and an apparatus are provided in accordance with the disclosure. The target constellation diagram determining method in accordance with the disclosure may include receiving, by a receiving device, training data that is generated and sent by a sending device based on each constellation point in an alternative constellation diagram. A detection region of each constellation point can then be determined based on a position of the training data in the alternative constellation diagram. A cumulative distance corresponding to the alternative constellation diagram can be obtained based on a distance between the detection regions of the constellation points. The method may include determining, based on cumulative distances corresponding to a plurality of alternative constellation diagrams, that an alternative constellation diagram with a largest cumulative distance is a target constellation diagram, and notifying the sending device of the target constellation diagram, so that the sending device modulates to-be-sent data based on the target constellation diagram.

A method and device for reducing the distortion of optical pulses caused by the polarization mode dispersion in optical communication systems is provided. When an optical pulse having any polarization is transmitted through an optical communication system, which is optically anisotropic, at least in sections, the optical pulse may become distorted due to the different velocities of the various polarization components. This distortion of the optical pulses may reduces the maximum transmission rate of the system. A method is provided for functioning in response to the detected transmission quality of the communication system where a polarization-controlling device for setting the polarization of the optical pulse is driven in such a way that the transmission quality is maximized. An optical communication system, including an optical transmission medium, involves a device for determining the transmission quality of the communication system, a regulating device, and a polarization-controlling device. The output signal from the device for determining the transmission quality of the communication system may be applied to the regulating device, which drives the polarization-controlling device to change the polarization of the optical pulses in such a way that the transmission quality is optimized.
