Abstract

A fibre optic communication system for communication between a main station and a remote station includes a downlink for communication from the main station to the remote station and an uplink to enable to remote station to communicate with the main station. The downlink includes one or more optical sources (12) at the main station to provide one or more light beams (11) which are modulated to carry a signal which is then transmitted to the remote station and displayed. The uplink is formed by modulation at the remote station of a light beam (2) transmitted from a source (24) at the main station, along an optical fibre (25), to the remote station. The modulated beam is transmitted back to the main station and decoded by comparison with the unmodulated beam. The communication system has zero or very low magnetic and electrical signatures at the remote station.
