Abstract
An optical distributor includes an optical-signal input port, a light receiving device, a light emitting device, a light splitter, and optical signal output ports. The light receiving device converts an optical light signal input to the optical-signal input port into an electric signal. The light emitting device converts the electric signal into an optical signal. The optical splitter 14 splits the converted optical signal into two optical signals. The optical-signal output ports output the split optical signals. The light receiving device includes a light receiving element, a pre-amplifier, and a limiting amplifier. The light emitting device includes a light-source drive element and a light emitting element.
