Publication number: 20240171270Abstract: This application provides an optical communication system, a vehicle, and an industrial optical network, and relates to the field of optical communications. A light source module in the optical communication system can be connected to a group of first nodes separately through two carrier bearer networks. Therefore, even if either carrier bearer network is faulty, the other carrier bearer network can continue to transmit an optical carrier, thereby effectively improving reliability of optical carrier transmission, and further improving reliability of the optical communication system. In addition, because the two carrier bearer networks are independent of each other and can work simultaneously, after either carrier bearer network is faulty, no failover is needed. This can avoid interrupted transmission of the optical carrier caused by the failover, and further avoid interrupted transmission of a service optical signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Xin Zhang, Yanbo Li, Tianhai Chang
