OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, MASTER STATION, AND SLAVE STATION

摘要

An optical communication system comprises a single master station (10), a plurality of slave stations (30) housed in the master station (10), and a remote node (20) which divides a wavelength division multiplex transmitted optical signal from the master station to each slave station and combines optical signals transmitted from each slave station to the master station, using the AWG. The master station (10) generates, for each slave station (30), a plurality of optical signals having different wavelengths determined in advance based on the FSR of the AWG which are to be transmitted toward one and the same slave station (30), as downstream signals to be transmitted to each slave station (30).
