PURPOSE: To detect a fault of a light signal output including an electrooptic converter, by branching and converting part of a light signal into an electric signal, and then integrating and comparing it with a prescribed value.
CONSTITUTION: An optical branching filter 2 extracts and inputs part of a light signal 102, obtained through the conversion of an electrooptic converter 1, to a photoelectric converter 3. An electric signal 105 obtained by the photoelectric converter 3 is integrated by an integrator 4 and then compared with a prescribed value 109 by a comparator 5. The comparator 5 sends out an error signal by setting a flip-flop 6 when a integral output 106 exceeds the prescribed value 109, namely, when the light signal has an error, and when an error occurs to the electrooptic converter 1.
