    摘要: An optical transmission control device comprises a first/second light emitting sub-component, a first/second signal transmission line, a laser driving component, and a microcontroller. The first signal transmission line is connected to the first light emitting sub-component and configured to receive analog signal. The second signal transmission line is configured to receive digital signal. The laser driving component is connected to the first light emitting sub-component, the second light emitting sub-component, and the second signal transmission line. The microcontroller is connected to the laser driving component and configured to receive a data signal. The microcontroller is configured to control the laser driving component to generate and output the driving signal to at least one of the first/second light emitting sub-component according to the data signal and control the laser driving component to process and output the digital signal to the second light emitting sub-component according to the data signal.

    摘要: A signal processing device processes reception signals of optical signals received by a receiver when the optical signals transmitted from a transmitter are propagated to the receiver via a plurality of paths, and includes: a signal-to-noise ratio calculating unit that calculates signal-to-noise ratios of the optical signals that have been propagated through the respective paths, from propagation distances of the optical signals in the respective paths, intensities of the optical signals transmitted from the transmitter, and intensities of noise with respect to the optical signals transmitted from the transmitter; an amplitude adjusting unit that adjusts amplitudes of the reception signals of the optical signals that have been propagated through the respective paths, using the corresponding signal-to-noise ratios calculated by the signal-to-noise ratio calculating unit; and a signal combining unit that combines the reception signals whose amplitudes have been adjusted by the amplitude adjusting unit.
