Abstract

An optical network system includes information processing terminals each including an optical transmitter unit and an optical receiver unit, first optical fibers, first optical transmission lines, second optical fibers, second optical transmission lines, an optical coupling unit, and an optical branching unit. The first optical fibers extend from the respective optical transmitter units of the information processing terminals. The first optical transmission lines are connected to the respective first optical fibers at one ends. The first optical fibers extend from the respective optical receiver units of the information processing terminals. The second optical transmission lines are connected to the respective second optical fibers at one ends. The optical coupling unit couples another ends of the first optical transmission lines to one end of a third optical transmission line. The optical branching unit couples another end of the third optical transmission line to another ends of the second optical transmission lines.
