An optical transceiver for transmitting light source control information,
which is applied to a Subcarrier Multiplexing optical network, is
disclosed. The optical transceiver includes a controller, an SCM frame
generation/restoring unit, a modulator/demodulator, and an EO/OE
converter. The controller controls transmission of light source control
information or collects received light source control information. The
SCM frame generation/restoring unit generates an SCM frame containing
light source control information received from the controller. The
modulator/demodulator modulates an SCM frame generated by the SCM frame
generation/restoring unit into a signal suitable for transmission. The
EO/OE converter converts a transmission signal modulated by the
modulator/demodulator into an optical signal and transmits the optical
signal through an optical fiber. An optical network having a telephone
office OLT and subscriber ONTs, each having the optical transceiver, is
also disclosed.
