ABSTRACT:
An optical communications apparatus that is superior in terms of the quality of long-distance transmission. The optical communications apparatus has a plurality of time-division multiplexing devices and an optical multiplexer. Each of time-division multiplexing devices generates optical data sequences by subjecting two systems of optical signal sequences to time-division multiplexing. In each optical data sequence, the duty ratio of the optical pulses is 0.5 or greater, and the phase difference between adjacent optical pulses is π phase. Moreover, the optical multiplexer subjects the optical data sequences input from the plurality of transmitters to wavelength-division multiplexing. Since the duty ratio is set at 0.5 or greater and the phase difference is set at π phase, the soliton interaction of the optical signal sequences and the interaction between channels can be reduced, so that the reliability of the transmitted data is improved.
