Other Title
Two-way optical data communication network - has intermediate optical amplifiers with electrical control terminals for electrical signal input and output circuits.
Abstract
EP 414333 A UPAB: 19950314 An optical data network, for bidirectional communication between subscriber stations, has an optical fibre cable with station connections including optical amplifiers (OVn-OVn+3). Each optical amplifier has a connection to a power supply (IV) via an inductive coupling. Each station has a data input and output. The value of the bias current IIV) determines the gain and sensitivity of the amplifier. In combination with the switching in of a modulating current the fibre optic line can handle bidirectional data transmissions. ADVANTAGE - Point to multipoint connection possible. Easily extended.
