Claim 6:
7. An optical communication system comprising:
a light emitter configured to emit communication light;
a light emission controller configured to control the light emitter;
an optical fiber configured to transmit the light emitted from the light emitter;
a distributor configured to distribute the light, the distributor being optically coupled to an output terminal of the optical fiber;
an optical fiber group optically coupled to a plurality of output terminals of the distributor;
a protection container configured to accommodate the light emitter in a water-tight manner;
a moving body equipped with a light receiver for receiving the communication light emitted from the optical fiber group; and
an external station configured to supply power to the light emitter and the light emission controller and remotely control the moving body by communicating with the light emission controller via a cable,
light emitter transmits the light to the distributor located outside the protection container.
