Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a device for modulating an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing optical signal are provided and relate to the field of optical communications technologies. The method includes: performing bit-to-symbol mapping and serial-to-parallel conversion on a baseband signal to obtain at least two sub symbol sequences of the baseband signal; determining, from all subcarriers of an OFDM signal, a subcarrier used for loading a pilot signal; updating, according to information of the pilot signal, content corresponding to the subcarrier used for loading the pilot signal; and performing inverse discrete Fourier transform, parallel-to-serial conversion, digital-to-analog conversion, and electrical amplification processing on content currently corresponding to all the subcarriers of the OFDM signal, and modulating a light wave by using processed data and a bias electrical signal, to form an OFDM optical signal loaded with the pilot signal.
