OPTICAL COUPLER, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446611 titled 'OPTICAL COUPLER, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an optical coupler, communication method, and communication system.

• The communication system consists of N transmitters, M receivers, and an optical coupler.
• N and M are positive integers greater than 1.
• Each transmitter sends a first optical signal to the optical coupler.
• The optical coupler combines the N first optical signals into a second optical signal.
• The second optical signal is then broadcasted to the M receivers.
• Each receiver receives the second optical signal and demodulates it.

Original Abstract Submitted

An optical coupler, a communication method, and a communication system are provided. The communication system includes N transmitters, M receivers, and an optical coupler, where both N and M are positive integers greater than 1. Each of the N transmitters is configured to send one first optical signal to the optical coupler. The optical coupler is configured to couple N first optical signals sent by the N transmitters into one second optical signal and to broadcast the second optical signal to the M receivers. Each of the M receivers is configured to receive the second optical signal sent by the optical coupler and to demodulate the second optical signal.
