Abstract
An object is to provide an optical communication system capable of controlling the output ratio by port and by wavelength for incident light of different wavelengths, a method of determining the split ratio of an uneven-split optical splitter for controlling the output ratio by port and by wavelength, and a transmission range determination method for the optical communication system. The split ratio determination method for an uneven-split optical splitter according to the present invention uses the melt-draw distance to adjust the split ratio of each fiber-optic splitter included in the uneven-split optical splitter such that the light output from the farthest ONUs among each of the ports connected under the ports B to M of the uneven-split optical splitter arrives with the minimum reception sensitivity at OLT receivers in a PON system.
