Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for dual-polarisation SDM transmission over optical fibre. The transmission method uses specific I/Q coding for combating the effects of PDL. The modulation symbols to be transmitted on the 2N polarisation states of the N wavelengths are broken down into real values and imaginary values (220). A first orthogonal linear transformation (230-1) is applied to the vector of the real values thus obtained and a second orthogonal linear transformation (230-2), separate from the first, is applied to the vector of the imaginary values thus obtained. A complex scalar solving an irreducible polynome of [X] in is multiplied with the first or second transformed vector before the two transformed vectors are summed (240) in order to provide a vector of transmission symbols for modulating the different states of polarisation of the spatial elementary channels.
