Abstract
In a duplex optical communication system employing, at each location, the same electrooptic device alternately as a source and as a detector of optical wave energy, and using a single optical fiber to connect pairs of locations, interference produced by reverse Rayleigh scattering along the fiber is minimized by means of R-C equalizers. The modulation signal applied to the electrooptic device (11) during its transmitting period is simultaneously applied to the equalizer (20). During the receiving period, the signal stored in the equalizer is coupled to the local receiver (18), along with the signal from the electrooptic device, wherein it combines destructively with the reverse Rayleigh scattered signal produced along the fiber by the original transmission.
