Optical fiber telecommunication line with separate optically transmitted service channels
Abstract
Abstract The invention refers to an optical fibre transmission line which comprises means (9, 10) for injecting and means (9, 10) for extracting optical service signals from the line' s optical fibre (3), where said means comprise emission and/or reception units (10) of optical service signals, suitable for receiving from the optical line (3) and/or emitting towards the line itself service signals in the form of optical signals having a wavelength which is substantially different from the wavelength of the telecommunications signals, each of which units (10) is associated with a corresponding optical coupler (9) inserted along the line (3), suitable for coupling within the line fibre and/or for extracting from it the optical service signals. <IMAGE>
