動作を行わせている。 Conventionally, as AGC in a receiving circuit of an optical communication system using an optical fiber as a transmission path, as shown in Fig. 1, after superimposing a pilot signal from a pilot signal generator 24 on the transmission signal from the input end 1 on the transmitting side. , it is converted into an optical signal by the electric-optical conversion circuit 2, and sent as optical power to the optical fiber 3. On the receiving side, as shown in FIG. , amplified into a regular signal by an electric amplifier 33, and in the case of an intermediate repeater, subjected to electric-to-optical conversion by an electric-to-optical converter 34, the optical power is transmitted to an optical fiber 35, and an electric amplifier is used at the receiving terminal station. The output signal is extracted from the output of 33. In addition, the output of the electric amplifier 33 is branched for AGC, a pilot signal is extracted by the bandpass filter 36, a DC control signal is obtained by the amplification rectifier circuit 37, and the bias of the light emitting diode 32 is controlled, and the quantum AGC

2の量子化効率を制御するものである。 On the other hand, as another AGC circuit, a circuit as shown in FIG. 3 may also be used. This circuit detects the average value of the light receiving power of the light receiving diode 32 by the amplifier circuit 46, and uses the DC output to detect the average value of the light receiving power of the light receiving diode 32.
This controls the quantization efficiency of 2.

いう欠点があつた。 The average received power value AGC has a simple circuit, but the correspondence between the optical power and the electrical signal contained therein is not necessarily constant due to changes in the modulation degree on the transmitting side, so the stability of the electrical signal is not very good. There was a drawback.

つた。 In addition, pilot AGC has good accuracy and the transmission signal is very stable even when the transmission line is connected in multiple stages.However, when the pilot signal is abnormal, especially when the pilot signal is disconnected, noise generated by the photodetector diode is large, and when connected in multiple stages, the noise becomes large and may have an adverse effect on the equipment connected to the next stage. Also, if a transmission signal is applied to input terminal 1 in Fig. 1 when the transmission path is restored from a fault,
The quantization efficiency of the photodetector diode shown in Fig. 2 was extremely low, and the output of the amplifier 33 was saturated by the transmission signal, making it impossible to extract the superimposed pilot signal, and in some cases AGC operation could not be restored. .

ある。 The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of conventional AGC operation, to facilitate line recovery when the transmission line is restored, and to search for the faulty part by bringing the transmission line other than the faulty transmission line into a state close to normal operation during continuous connection. The object of the present invention is to provide an optical communication system that can facilitate the communication.

特徴とする。 The optical communication system of the present invention uses an optical fiber as a transmission path, performs AGC operation such that when the pilot signal superimposed on the transmission signal is normal, this pilot signal remains at a nearly constant level, and when the pilot signal is abnormal, The present invention is characterized in that the received light power average value AGC operation is performed so that the received light power is approximately constant.

るものである。 The present invention will be explained below based on the embodiment shown in FIG. The electrical signal output from the light receiving diode 32 is amplified by the amplifier 33, the pilot signal is extracted by the pilot extracting bandpass filter 56, and the DC control signal is obtained by the amplifying rectifier circuit 57. On the other hand, the average received light power detection amplification circuit 58 obtains a DC control signal. At this time, the state of the pilot signal is constantly monitored by the abnormal state detection circuit inside the amplification and rectification circuit 57, and when it is normal, the switch 59 operates the AGC circuit by the pilot signal, and if there is an abnormality in the pilot signal, At this time, switch 59 is set to AGC based on the average received light power.
This switches the circuit to the active side and performs AGC operation.

品質である事は言うまでもない。 As shown in FIG. 5, the effects of the present invention are particularly apparent when optical transmission lines are connected in series.
Its characteristics are described below. If the fiber 3 in FIG. 5 is broken, the gain of the optical-to-electrical conversion circuit 4 (optical-to-electrical conversion gain) increases. If light-
If the electrical conversion circuits 7 and 10 are only pilot AGC, the gains of both will increase and the noise appearing at the output terminal 11 will become large. Further, at this time, even if an attempt is made to test the transmission characteristics by disconnecting the inputs of the electro-optical conversion circuits 5 and 8 and inserting signals, normal measurements cannot be made and it becomes difficult to isolate the fault. If, in such a state, the AGC operation of the optical-to-electrical conversion circuits 7 and 10 is switched to the method using the average received light power of the present invention, the transmission characteristics from the conversion circuit 5 to the conversion circuit 10 will be almost normal. Therefore, the above-mentioned cutting operation becomes easy. Furthermore, if the pilot signal is normal, it goes without saying that a highly accurate pilot AGC circuit is used and the transmission line is of high quality.
