Abstract
An optical communication system comprises an optical communication device and an optical power supply configured to generate a sequence of optical frame templates directed to the optical communication device. The optical communication device may use the received optical frame templates as a light source for generating data-loaded optical frames and/or may extract from the optical frame templates control information encoded therein using one or more headers thereof.
Claims11
An apparatus comprising:
- a light source;
- and
- an electronic controller connected to cause the light source to produce a sequence of optical frame templates, each of the optical frame templates comprising a respective frame header, and a respective frame body;
- wherein each frame body comprises a respective optical pulse train;
- and
- wherein the light source and the electronic controller are configured to imprint control information onto light of at least some of the optical frame templates using time intervals corresponding to the respective frame headers of the sequence.
