Abstract

A method and device for optical data transmission are disclosed. Data bits are transmitted in the form of data symbols, by modulating an optical signal in dependence on the data bits and in accordance with two or more constellation schemes. The data bits are transmitted, by generating first data symbols, which represent respective sets of data bits containing an even number of data bits. The first data symbols are generated, by modulating the optical signal in accordance with a first constellation scheme. Furthermore, the data bits are transmitted, by generating second data symbols, which represent respective sets of data bits having an odd number of data bits. The second data symbols are generated, by modulating the optical signal in accordance with a second constellation scheme. The first and the second data symbols are generated at a predefined symbol rate, such that the first and the second data symbols are interleaved in time.
