Abstract

Disclosed are a device and a method for transmitting an optical data signal over an optical transmission channel, comprising a differential phase shift keying unit for differential phase shift keying of at least one serial data stream to generate a differential phase shift keying coded data stream; an amplitude shift keying unit for amplitude coding of at least two further serial data streams that can be selectively activated to generate an amplitude shift keying coded data stream; and a modulation unit for generating an optical data signal in accordance with a control signal that is, formed from the generated differential phase shift keying coded data stream and from the generated amplitude shift keying coded data stream.
