Abstract

Optical stabilisation system having a signal source (1) connected to a transmission line (2) and a noise source (3). The signal source (1) comprises a laser having a number of laser modes within a first wavelength band for generating an optical transmission signal (S).
The noise source generates a narrow-band noise signal which is inserted into the transmission line via coupling means (5) and is injected into the laser of the signal source (1). The noise signal forces the laser to operate in a laser mode within the noise band. Via a power distributor (11), a portion of the noise signal can also be injected into a laser of a further signal source (9) for stabilisation in a laser mode within the same noise band. Any signals outside the noise band are removed from the transmission signal by a narrow-band filter (8). The stabilisation system is applied in passive optical networks for groupwise wavelength assignment to network terminals.
