Control signal transmission with optical fiber

Described is a new control signal transmission system which utilizes an optical fiber to transmit 2-bit control signals from the transmitter to receiver. In the transmitter the DC series control voltages are converted into the multiple frequency signals by voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The multiple frequency signals can easily be transmitted by optical fiber. In the receiver the multiple frequency signals can be detected by analog or digital circuits and then be converted into 2-state control signals which can be used for a variety of applications.
