Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the momentary break of information transmission when a light emitting element is faulty, by coupling optical signals of plural light emitting elements based on the same input signal and transmitting them. CONSTITUTION:Optical signals of light emitting elements 3 and 3a driven by a driving circuit 6 are transmitted to optical fibers 7 and 7a respectively and are led to a coupler 8. These optical signals are incident to a half mirror 9 in the coupler 8 at different angles of incidence, and one of them is transmitted through, and the other is reflected overall, and thus, they are coupled, and the coupled optical signal is incident to an optical fiber 4 and is transmitted to the receiving side. Thus, the switching operation in the receiving side is unnecessary and the momentary break of information transmission is prevented when light emitting elements are faulty, and a high precision is attained.
