Receiving system having a large dynamic range.

摘要

An optical probe (23) receives a laser beam from a laser (21) and an input signal (I) with an input signal intensity and an input amplitude to produce a permeating beam having a beam intensity which is varied in response to the input signal intensity. A receiving device (27) receives an electric signal having a converted amplitude from a photoelectric converter (25) which converts the permeating beam into the electric signal. Supplied with the electric signal, a feedback control device (35) produces a feedback control signal. A laser control device (37) controls the laser in response to the feedback control signal so that the converted amplitude is approximately equal to a constant amplitude regardless of the input amplitude. The laser control device may control the laser so that the beam intensity is approximately equal to a constant beam intensity regardless of the input amplitude. <IMAGE>
