Abstract
A communication system includes a communication unit with a first part and a number of a second part, where the second part is arranged to be placed at the location of an end user, and where the first part is common for a number of second parts. The first part and the second part respectively include a laser, and each second part is connected with the first part by a fiber optic cable and a frequency filter, the first part and the relevant second part being arranged to exchange information by laser light. Each second part includes a tunable laser, the first part is arranged to analyze light received from a second part, and to transmit information to the second part while the first part is receiving light from the second part, and the information contains information for the second part that it should adjust, where required, its frequency or wavelength, and the second part thus is arranged to change its frequency or wavelength.
