Abstract

An optical system may have an optical transmitter including a digital signal processor to receive a signal channel, determine a digital signal associated with the signal channel based on information in a look-up table and based on a test tone, and output the digital signal. The optical system may further have a digital-to-analog converter to convert the digital signal to an analog signal, a laser to provide an optical signal, and a modulator to receive the optical signal and the analog signal, and modulate the optical signal based on the analog signal to form a modulated optical signal. The optical system may also have a photodiode to convert the modulated optical signal to a digital signal, a tone detector to detect the test tone based on the digital signal, and a controller to modify the information in the look-up table based on the test tone.
