Abstract:
A communication system includes three or more nodes and a multi-core fiber having a plurality of cores, the multi-core fiber being used in at least a partial segment of the connection between the nodes is provided. One node of the nodes is connected to the multi-core fiber and includes a connector configured to add and drop a signal to and from an allocated core exclusively allocated from among the cores as a communication path between the one node and another node of the nodes and/or configured to relay a signal transmitted through another core of the cores allocated for communication between other nodes in the multi-core fiber connected to the one node, and a relative positional relationship between a connection position of the allocated core in which a signal is added or dropped in the connector and a connection position of another core in which a signal is relayed in the connector is the same for all of the nodes connected to the multi-core fiber.

Claim (Index 17):
The communication system according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the connector includes:\n a first optical element configured to spatially split signals output from the plurality of cores of the multi-core fiber connected to the one node in which the connector is provided; \n a second optical element configured to drop a signal by changing a propagating direction of the signal spatially split by the first optical element to the outside of the connector; \n a third optical element configured to add an input signal by changing a propagating direction of the input signal input from the outside of the connector to the propagating direction of spatially split signals; and \n a fourth optical element configured to input the signals spatially split by the first optical element and the input signal of which the propagating direction is changed by the third optical element to the plurality of cores of another multi-core fiber connected to the one node in which the connector is provided.
