Abstract
A multi-wavelength optical telecommunication method includes the steps of generating at least one optical transmission signal in a predetermined wavelength band, transmitting the optical transmission signal through an optical fibre to a receiving station, receiving the optical transmission signal through a passband filter and filtering the signal to let the transmission signal alone pass. The wavelength band is scanned in order to identify in the band a recognizable portion of the optical spectrum being received, thus determining, based on the operating conditions corresponding to the recognizable spectrum portion, a search range of the transmission signal within which the transmission signal is searched out and recognized based on its spectral profile.
