Wavelength division multiplexed fiber optic cable system with non-unique terminal types

摘要: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A wavelength division multiplexed fiber-optic communication system employs a pair of terminal stations, at opposite ends the link, with base configuration each station being same. In selective coupling arrangement is provided between source or transmitter devices as well receiver and single optical fiber over which transmissions are to take place so effectively make terminals interchangeable. For achieving this purpose, comprised that capable generating plurality wavelengths. Similarly, includes detector detecting wavelengths selectively available for transmission generation by source. The may comprise multiwavelength such dual semiconductor laser generator control bias connections provide selectivity interest. multiple sensitive receiver, constituting unit, associated device also be individual activation selected controllably switching engaging desired
