Multi-wavelength bidirectional optical transceiver having monitors

摘要

A multi-wavelength bidirectional optical transceiver includes a plurality of optical transmitters for generating and outputting forward optical signals, a plurality of optical receivers for performing optoelectric conversion on reverse optical signals, a band splitter for outputting the forward optical signals that are input from the plurality of optical transmitters to outside the multi-wavelength bidirectional optical transceiver and for outputting reverse optical signals that are input from outside the multi-wavelength bidirectional optical transceiver to the plurality of optical receivers, a power splitter on an optical path between the plurality of optical transmitters and the band splitter for power-splitting the forward optical signals that are input from the plurality of optical transmitters and for outputting portions of the forward optical signals to the band splitter, and a plurality of monitors for performing optoelectric conversion on the remaining portions of the forward optical signals that are input from the power splitter.
