Abstract

A system that affords synchronization signals for adjusting the skew in parallel transmission without producing data overhead to enable high-efficiency large-capacity transmission. On a transmitter side, a transmitter outputs two wavelengths. The transmitter transmits the data signals for transmission as it switches from a first wave length to a second wavelength at a certain synchronization timing. A wavelength filter separates a first wavelength and a second wavelength on a receiving side at the pre-stages of receivers receiving the data signals of the respective transmission paths. Data D1 and D2, separated in association with the first and second wave lengths, are stored in buffers B11, B12 to detect oncoming of data signals with maximum delay in the respective transmission paths. The data are output simultaneously from the second buffer B2 to the respective transmission paths in a timing of the data having the maximum delay.
