ABSTRACT:
In an optical communication network is disclosed. In the, a pair of optical fibers are coupled to each of a plurality nodes. Each node has two signal routes each including a transmit path and receive path. The paired optical fibers are connected to both terminals of a star coupler. The network includes a first branching filter for supplying a signal from the transmit path of the first signal route to one (first optical fiber) of the paired optical fibers, and for supplying a signal from the first optical fiber to the receive path of the second signal route, and a second branching filter for supplying a signal from the transmit path of the second signal route to the other (second optical fiber) of the paired optical fibers, and for supplying a signal from the second optical fiber to the receive path of the first signal route.
