Zusammenfassung:In an optical communication method, an accurate common clock signal (GPS) is provided to a sender (10) and a receiver (20). In the sender, the common clock signal is received, a first clock signal (CLK1) is generated on the basis of said common clock signal, a carrier wave with a predetermined carrier frequency (f) is generated using said clock signal as timing reference, the carrier wave is modulated with a data signal, and the modulated carrier wave is transmitted using a light beam (13). In the receiver, the common clock signal is received, a reference signal having the same frequency (f) as the carrier frequency is generated on the basis of said common clock signal, said optical beam (13) is received, a detection signal is derived from the optical beam, the receiver is tuned to the predetermined carrier frequency (f), and the data signal is derived from the detection signal.
