Abstract
A transceiver (11) for a bidirectional coherent optical transmission system with a fiber link (12) is provided with a laser (16) for transmitting a signal carrier wave, a modulator, a heterodyne or homodyne coherent detector (13), and a demodulator. To make such a transceiver (11) more economical on components, more compact in design, and less expensive to manufacture, the laser (16) is simultaneously used to transmit oscillator radiation for the heterodyne or homodyne coherent detector (13) of the same transceiver (11) and/or to optically amplify the signal carrier wave arriving from the remote transceiver (11) over the fiber link (12).
