Abstract
In an optical transmission device comprising a plurality of semiconductor lasers (.lambda..sub.1, . . . , .lambda..sub.N) for transmitting an equal plurality of information streams, the wavelengths of the radiation beams from the lasers are stabilised by successively selecting them and then measuring them by means of a wavelength meter (20) and subsequently by correcting them. Since the wavelength of the radiation emitted by each laser may vary within limits imposed by neighbouring wavelengths, a high measuring rate of the wavelength meter is not required.
