 Image Number 5 for United States Patent #5812296.
In a fiber optics transmission system in which a plurality of access units are cascade-connected via up-link and down-link optical fiber lines and connected to a base unit, the base unit has a beat noise detector and a noise information generator and, upon detection of beat noise, noise information is sent to each access unit over the optical fiber lines. Each access unit has a random signal generator for generating a random value in response to the noise information and a wavelength control circuit for randomly selecting and controlling the oscillation wavelength of a laser diode, and each access unit repeats random wavelength selection until the noise information is reduced.
