Abstract

A method and a device is provided driving an optical laser diode (710, 711) during operation in an optical communication network, by determining a laser transfer function (741, 742) during operation of the laser diode (710, 711) and providing a control signal (750, 749) for driving the laser diode (710, 711) according to the laser transfer function (741, 742). Further, a method for driving a first and a second optical laser diode during operation in an optical communication network is provided. Furthermore, an optical amplifier and a communication system is suggested.
