(Constitution of the Invention) According to the present invention, one of the N inputs of an N-to-N star coupler is used as a signal input, one of the N outputs is used as a filter output, and the remaining N-1 outputs are used as a filter output. Each of them has N-1 through an optical fiber having a different length and an attenuator capable of setting an attenuation amount.
By returning to the input of the book, a recursive filter in the optical domain is obtained.

(Principle of the Invention) The present invention has realized a recursive filter in the optical region, which has not existed conventionally, by employing the above-described configuration. This filter conceptually has the structure shown in FIG. Assuming that the amount of attenuation applied to each return route is M i (i = 1 to L), the transfer function of the filter can be expressed using a Z-transform. Here, a: excess loss ΣM i = N−1, M i 0 For example, if L = 1, N = 10, M i = 9, A low-pass filter is obtained. L = 5, N = 2, M 1 = M 2

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. Light coming from an input terminal 1 passes through an input fiber 2 and enters a 3 × 3 star coupler 3. Star coupler 3
Is output to the terminal 5 through the optical fiber. The second output of the star coupler passes through an optical fiber 6 of length 1 and enters the second input of the star coupler 3 through an attenuator 8. The third output of the star coupler enters the third input of the star coupler 3 through an attenuator 9 through a 2 l long optical fiber 7. Here, the length l of the optical fiber may be determined so that the optical signal propagation time coincides with one symbol time.
