Abstract
Optical transceiver arrangement to transmit information signals (S1, . , Sn) from a transmitter arrangement (T) to a receiver arrangement (R) over an optical waveguide (L). This is achieved by modulating electrical subcarrier waveforms with these information signals (S1, . , Sn) using modulation means (M1, . , Mn), converting them to optical signals using electrical/optical convertors (E/01, . , E/01n), and by transmitting these optical signals, by means of time division multiplexing means (TDM1, . , TDMn), in different time slots if the subcarrier waveforms have the same frequency. The modulation- and time division multiplexing means are controlled by corresponding individual control modules (C1, . , Cn) under control of a central control module (CC) included in the receiver arrangement.
