本発明は、受動分岐形の光データ・バスを用いた光通信
方式の改良に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in an optical communication system using a passive branch type optical data bus.
受動分岐形の光データ・バスは、バスに直列に能動素子
を含まないので、高信頼性の光データ・バスが実現じや
すい利点があるが、分岐点(カップラ)において光信号
の損失を生じるので、受信信号のレベルは受信点と送信
点の間に存在するカップラの数によって変化する。この
ため、複数の局をこの種の光データ・バスで結んでなる
光通信システムにおいては、受信信号のレベルは、その
信号がどの局からきたものかによって大きく変化する。Passive branch type optical data buses do not include active elements in series with the bus, so they have the advantage of making it easier to realize highly reliable optical data buses, but optical signal loss occurs at the branch point (coupler). Therefore, the level of the received signal changes depending on the number of couplers existing between the receiving point and the transmitting point. Therefore, in an optical communication system in which a plurality of stations are connected by this type of optical data bus, the level of a received signal varies greatly depending on which station the signal comes from.
送信レベルの変化には受信感度を自動調節して対処する
が、感度調節の応答速度の面から通信の速度が制限され
、高速通信は困難である。Changes in transmission level are dealt with by automatically adjusting reception sensitivity, but communication speed is limited by the response speed of sensitivity adjustment, making high-speed communication difficult.
光データ・バス上に光信号を双方向に流通させようとす
ると、単方向性の光カップラを方向を逆にして2つ用い

方向性光カップラは光学的精度の厳密なものが要求され
、しかも一般に光の損失が大きい。If an optical signal is to be passed bidirectionally on an optical data bus, it is necessary to use two unidirectional optical couplers with their directions reversed, or to use a bidirectional optical coupler with a special structure. However, if two unidirectional optical couplers are used, two sets of transmitters and receivers are required, increasing the number of parts, and bidirectional optical couplers require strict optical precision and generally suffer from optical loss. is large.
本発明の目的は、受信信号のレベルがどの送信局からの
ものも同一であり、かつ部品点数の少ない光通信方式を
提供することKある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an optical communication system in which the level of a received signal is the same from any transmitting station and has a small number of parts.

ものである。In the present invention, a reflector is provided at one end of the optical transmission line to return the signal, thereby creating a round trip line, and each transmitter of a plurality of stations is connected in the direction of the transmission line via a unidirectional coupler. In addition, each receiver of each station is connected via a unidirectional coupler in the return direction, and the transmission output level of each station is adjusted so that the level of the signal transmitted from each station is equal at the turning point of the transmission line. It has been established that
以下、図面によって本発明の詳細な説明する。Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

共通のカップラに第2図のように接続してもよい。The optical transmission line 1 is made into a round trip line by returning the communication at a reflector A provided at one end, and in the direction of the outward path, the transmitters 31 of each communication station 21 (1■1 to n) are connected to each other. They are connected via a coupler consisting of a unidirectional passive branch, and in the return direction, the receivers 41 of each communication station 21 are connected via similar couplers. Optical transmission II! ! At the other end of path 1 an absorber B is provided. The couplers of each transmitter 31 are all oriented in the same direction, and accordingly, the couplers of the receiver 410 are all oriented in the same direction. That is, all the output signals of each transmitter 31 are optically transmitted Ii
The structure is such that the signal is reflected by the reflector 1 and transmitted to each receiver 41. Note that the transmitter 31 and receiver 41 may be connected to a common coupler as shown in FIG.

を補償する柵度でよいので、高速の通信に適する。Here, in the reflector A, the signal transmission level of each transmitter 31 is set so that the signals from all transmitters 31 have the same level. By doing this, the level of the signal transmitted from the reflector A to each receiver 41 varies depending on the distance from the reflector A to each toilet 41 and the number of branches interposed therebetween, but the level of the signal transmitted from the transmitter 31. Therefore, the sensitivity of the receiver 41 may be uniform for any transmitter 31, and even if automatic sensitivity adjustment is required, there is a fence that compensates for slight level variations. degree, so it is suitable for high-speed communication.
光伝送線路1Fi反射器Aの利用により双方向の伝送線
路となるので、すべての通信局は送信出力を右側の局に
も左側の局にも伝えることができる。Since the optical transmission line 1Fi becomes a bidirectional transmission line by using the reflector A, all communication stations can transmit their transmission power to both the right station and the left station.

る。Therefore, bidirectional communication is possible even if only one set of unidirectional couplers is used for the transmitter and receiver. In other words, a bidirectional optical data path with a small number of parts can be realized.

In the return path, each receiver of each station is connected via a unidirectional coupler, and the level of the signal transmitted from each round is equal at the turning point of the transmission line. The transmission output level of each station is determined so that
