Abstract
An optical code communication system comprises an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, and an optical transmission line. The optical receiver has an optical mixing decoder for mixing a coded light and a local light, dividing the mixed light into an object optical frequency and a non-object optical frequency, and outputting the lights and a detection adder-subtractor filter for detecting the object optical frequency and the non-object optical frequency, filtering the intermediate frequency signals, subtracting one of the intermediate frequency signal from the other, and outputting the resultant intermediate frequency signal. The coded light and the local light are coherent with each other between the optical frequency chips constituting the coded light when detected. The optical mixing decoder or detection adder-subtractor filter regulates the phase of the intermediate frequency signal within the passband when filtered so that the output value or the absolute value of the intermediate frequency signal within the passband when filtered is different when the optical receiver receives a coded light modulated with a different value of the transmission data.
