Abstract
An apparatus and method for optical telecommunication includes introducing a laser beam emitted from a light source at a first station into an optical fiber, providing an ultrasonic wave obtained by modulating a voice signal by a signal-applying-device at a work section to the optical fiber, modulating a polarized light passing through the optical fiber in amplitude and frequency, receiving the polarized light with the shifted wave plane at a light-receiving section in a second station, detecting at the light-receiving section in the second station the polarized light which has been modulated by the signal-applying device in the work section, and demodulating the polarized light to obtain a voice signal.
