Abstract

A method of processing optical signal (TE) whose power (PE) varies in a random manner in a range of variation of power (ΔPE) around a mean power (PEφ), the processing of the optical signal (TE) generating processing noise (GELECTRONIC), characterized in that the relative variation of power (GE) of at least a temporal part at said optical signal (TE) is optically amplified.
