Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically lower an optical output when a distance between a transmitter and a receiver is very short and to prevent the overload of the receiver by monitoring a reverse-directional light-receiving power and controlling the optical output of the transmitter with the value in a system for bidirectional optical communications. CONSTITUTION:For the optical output of an optical transmitter(OS) on side A, the optical signal of the OS at a B side is received by an OR on side A. At such a time, the mean light-receiving power of the OR on side A is detected, and the optical output of the OS on side A is controlled by the value. Namely, a voltage proportional to a received optical power is obtained from an APD 4 of the optical receiver OR, it is added to a reference voltage 2 in the APC loop of the optical transmitter OS, and a driving circuit 1 of an LD is controlled. Thus, in the case of the system for the bidirectional optical communications, even when the distance between the transmitter and receiver is short, the overload of the receiver can be prevented by lowering the optical output of the optical transmitter automatically.
