Abstract
After implementing a scrambler upon an electric signal of digital signals to be transmitted to a user terminal, this electric signal is converted into a digital optical signal, and an analog optical signal and this digital optical signal are multiplexed by wavelength division multiplexing, thereby reducing influence of cross-talk interference that is exerted on the analog optical signal by the digital optical signal.
