Phase Modulation . In optical fiber communication, optical fiber modulation is the process of “loading data into optical signals”. Light itself is a single waveform and cannot directly carry complex information. Therefore, certain characteristics of light (such as brightness and vibration state) need to be adjusted. ent. Wave propagation is guided by optical fibres. Optical modulation. Abstract—Rate-adaptive optical transceivers can play an impor-tant role in exploiting the available resources in dynamic optical networks, in which different links yield different signal qualities.
