Assignee: LUMENTUM OPERATIONS LLC
Field: Telecommunications (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A transmitter, comprising:
a digital signal processor (DSP) to generate an electrical signal associated with a beacon and a data signal; and
an electro-optical component to convert the electrical signal to an optical signal to be transmitted by the transmitter,
wherein the beacon and the data signal are on a common wavelength in the optical signal,
wherein a power of the beacon within the optical signal is based on a value of an amplitude modulation factor applied to the beacon by the DSP in association with generating the electrical signal, and
wherein the DSP is configured to at least one of:
increase the value of the amplitude modulation factor to increase the power of the beacon within the optical signal, or
decrease the value of the amplitude modulation factor to decrease the power of the beacon within the optical signal.
