Abstract
The present invention provides an optical time compression multiplexing transmission system which suppresses the influence of optical reflection by a simple configuration without degrading transmission efficiency. The present invention is a 1:n (n being a natural number) time division multiplexing point-to-multi-point optical time compression multiplexing transmission system which comprises a decision element for determining whether or not the receiving signal which is outputted from a receiving element is a regular signal, an initialization element for initializing the operation condition of the receiving element when a receiving signal is determined to not be a regular signal by the decision element. When a signal is determined to not be a regular signal by the decision element, because the initialization element initializes the operation condition of the receiving element, the abnormal operation of the receiving element which is abnormal due to optical reflection which occurs by reflection can be returned to normal operation in a minimum amount of time.
