Abstract: A signal transmission system has a master node and plural slave nodes performing data transmission with the master node. The master node has a serial-to-parallel converter for converting a serial data signal from each slave node into a parallel data signal. Each slave node has a transmission aligner for performing word alignment processing upon a parallel data signals, and a parallel-to-serial converter for converting the parallel data signal subjected to the word alignment processing by the transmission aligner into a serial data signal, and outputting the serial data signal to the master node.

Abstract: In an optical transmission apparatus in which a plurality of nodes are optically connected to one another via an optical transmission path, a light signal which is coded so that a mixture ratio of 1 and 0 constituting data is made close to 50% is transmitted through the optical transmission path. When a light signal is not emitted from all of the nodes, a dummy signal which is an AC-like signal is emitted to the optical transmission path. Therefore, an optoelectric conversion section can be always set to an active state, and the signal recognizability can be prevented from being lowered.
