ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for encoding optical power and non-payload data in an optical signal is described. The method involves producing a dither modulating signal having an amplitude of indicative of the optical power in the optical signal and having a phase representing the non-payload data, and modulating the optical signal with the dither modulating signal. The apparatus involves a waveform generator for producing an amplitude adjusted waveform having an amplitude responsive to the optical power of the optical signal and a binary phase shift keying modulator for binary phase shift keying the amplitude adjusted waveform in response to the non-payload data to produce a dither modulating signal having an amplitude indicative of the optical power in the optical signal and having a phase representing the non-payload data.
