An access point in an optical fiber-based high-speed optical wireless
network is disclosed. The access point includes an antenna for receiving
communication requirement signals, a switch for selectively outputting a
corresponding signal according to the communication requirement signals,
a bias control unit for selectively outputting bias current with variable
intensity according to whether an output of the signal from the switch
exists or not, on the basis of a threshold current; a bias operation unit
for outputting input signals to the antenna when an input bias current is
smaller than the threshold current and for outputting signals received by
the antenna when an input bias current is larger than the predetermined
threshold current, and a semiconductor optical amplifier for selectively
performing an optical detection function of converting optical signals,
which have been received through a first optical fiber from an central
station, into electrical signals and sending the converted electrical
signals to the bias operation unit, when a current smaller than the
threshold current is input to the bias operation unit, and an optical
modulation function of transmitting signals output from the bias
operation unit through a second optical fiber to the central station,
when a current larger than the threshold current is input to the bias
operation unit.
