    Abstract: To provide a method and device capable of easily measuring the CMRR vs. frequency characteristics of an optical receiver. Light having a measurement frequency (ω [hz]) is split into two different paths, and a first optical two-tone signal, which is signal light and has a frequency difference (ω−Δω [hz]), and a second optical two-tone signal, which is local light and has a frequency difference (ω-Δω [hz]), are obtained and input into a coherent receiver to be measured, wherein electrical signals output from the receiver are measured to obtain both the ratio of the intensity of a signal component having the frequency ω−Δω [hz] to the intensity of a signal component having the frequency ω [hz], which corresponds to the CMRR on the signal light side, and the ratio of the intensity of a signal component having the frequency ω+Δω [hz] to the intensity of the signal component having the frequency ω [hz], which corresponds to the CMRR on the local light side.

    Abstract: PROBLEMSTo provide a method for evaluating characteristics of MZ interferometers in an optical modulator having a plurality of MZ interferometers.MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMSWhen an optical modulator includes a plurality of MZ interferometers, the 0-degree component contains a signal derived from an MZ interferometer other than the MZ interferometers for evaluating the characteristic. For this, it is impossible to accurately evaluate the characteristic of the MZ interferometers. The present invention does not use the 0-degree component normally having the highest intensity. That is, the characteristic of the MZ interferometers are evaluated by using a side band intensity of the component other than the 0-degree component.

    Abstract: The optical modulator includes optical modulation units. The plurality of optical modulation units is disposed in parallel on the same substrate. One input waveguide branches off to be connected to the Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguide of each optical modulation unit, and an entire optical waveguide is formed such that outputs from the Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides are combined and output through one output waveguide. A modulation signal with the same intensity is applied to a modulation electrode of each optical modulation unit. In at least some of the optical modulation units, mechanical structures including the modulation electrodes of the optical modulation units are configured such that an amplitude value of an optical output modulated by the modulation signal of the optical modulation unit is ½n (n is a natural number) of a maximum amplitude value in other optical modulation units.

    Abstract: To provide a method whereby a bias voltage capable of easily realizing a required extinction ratio can be controlled by utilizing a high-extinction ratio modulator even when a generic AD converter/control board is used, and a device for realizing the method. In the present invention, the step quantity (variation quantity) ΔV of a control voltage is no more than 0.1 times the half-wave voltage Vπ [V]. For example, in the case of searching for the minimum point, the light intensity is measured when a bias that is larger by the step voltage ΔV and a bias that is smaller by the step voltage ΔV are applied, the current bias voltage being used as a reference, and the bias voltage is moved toward the smaller of the measured light intensities. The process of setting the moved bias voltage as a reference, comparing the light intensities for the bias points in both neighboring positions, and changing the reference bias voltage is then repeated. A configuration may be adopted whereby ΔV then gradually decreases in accordance with a predetermined algorithm.
