Abstract
A multi-channel wideband monomode optical fibre network having at least one transmitting station and a plurality of receiving terminals connected to the transmitting station by monomode optical fibres. One or more sources of temporally coherent optical power, for example laser transmitters are connected to the network to feed optical power locally to the receiving terminals. The number of sources is less than the number of terminals.
