ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses an optical burst transmission system in which an optical generator generates Type 1 lightwaves having different wavelengths corresponding to transmission lines and having undergone intensity modulation with obtained data; a broad spectrum optical generator generates, by incorporating Type 2 lightwaves, a Type 3 lightwave using a fewer light emitting devices than the number of the Type 1 lightwaves, each Type 2 lightwaves having a corresponding wavelength apart from Type 1 lightwave's wavelength with an FSR interval and having undergone the intensity modulation with clock signals; an optical multiplexer multiplexes the Type 1 and Type 3 lightwaves to output the combination to each transmission line; and an optical routing unit extracts, from the combination, pairs of one Type 1 lightwave and one Type 2 lightwave having the corresponding wavelength, and guides pairs to each transmission line corresponding to the Type 1 lightwave's wavelength in each pair.
