Abstract
To make it possible to detect faults of optical fibers only by allowing the Master unit side to monitor those fibers in an optical transmission system for bilateral communication of analog optical signals by use of two-route optical fibers between the Master and Slave units. An oscillator of a Master unit oscillates a monitoring signal having a frequency different from that of the RF multiplex signal, a composition means synthesizes these two signals, and a light emission means transmits the synthesized signal to a light reception means of a Slave unit via a downlink optical fiber. A filter means at the Slave unit separates the monitoring signal from the received optical signal, the Slave composition means synthesizes the separated signal and the RF multiplex signal, and a light emission means converts the synthesized signal into an optical signal having a constant average optical power and transmits it to a light reception means at the Master unit via an uplink optical fiber. A detection means at the Master unit detects an average photo-electric power of the received optical signal, a filter means separates the monitoring signal from the concerned optical signal, and a detection means detects the level of thus separated signal.
