Abstract
An optical power supply system comprising: a power supply optical communication device that supplies power using an optical signal for power supply; and a power reception optical communication device that is driven by power obtained from the optical signal for power supply transmitted from the power supply optical communication device, wherein the power supply optical communication device includes an optical power supply unit that transmits the optical signal for power supply to the power reception optical communication device, and an optical signal generation unit that converts a continuous wave used for frequency conversion of a radio signal received by the power reception optical communication device into an optical signal and transmits the optical signal to the power reception optical communication device, the power reception optical communication device includes a photoelectric conversion unit that converts the optical signal transmitted from the power supply optical communication device into an electric signal of a continuous wave, and an external transmission/reception unit for performing frequency conversion on the radio signal transmitted from the external device.
