Abstract: An optical transmitter system for receiving and converting a radio frequency (RF) comprises an RF receiver circuit and at least two signal manipulation paths. The RF receiver circuit is configured to receive an RF signal. The at least two signal manipulation paths are connected with the RF receiver circuit, respectively, to receive the RF signal from the receiver circuit. The signal manipulation paths are configured to process the received RF signal, thereby obtaining a manipulated optical signal, respectively. Each of the signal manipulation paths comprises an electro-optical convertor. The electro-optical convertors are configured to convert RF signals into a corresponding converted optical signal. At least one of the signal manipulation paths comprises a signal manipulation unit configured to adapt a signal processed by the respective signal manipulation path based on at least one operation to obtain a manipulated signal.
