Abstract: A laser output control method and a laser output control device, including a luminous source in the optical interface of an optical transceiver, a proximity detector configured to detect and capture reflection intensity of a luminous beam from the luminous source, an optical processing circuit electrically connected to the proximity detector and configured to receive and process the reflection intensity, and a microcontroller configured to capture parametric information of the reflection intensity, are disclosed. The microcontroller is also electrically connected to a laser driver, to receive parametric information of the optical processing circuit and to regulate the laser and/or laser driver activity based on the parametric information. The laser output control device may effectively restrict the laser output activity and the total laser output energy, which may prevent exposing human eyes to relatively strong laser energy and enhance the security of laser usage and protection for the human body.

Abstract: Optical waveguides can extend alongside one another in sufficient proximity such that light couples between or among them as crosstalk. The electromagnetic field associated with light flowing in one optical waveguide can extend to an adjacent optical waveguide and induce unwanted light flow. The optical waveguide receiving the crosstalk can comprise a phase shifting capability, such as a longitudinal variation in refractive index, situated between two waveguide lengths. Crosstalk coupled onto the first waveguide length can flow through the refractive index variation, be phase shifted, and then flow onto the second waveguide length. The phase shifted crosstalk flowing on the second waveguide can meet other crosstalk that has coupled directly onto the second waveguide segment. The phase difference between the two crosstalks can suppress crosstalk via destructive interference. Destructive interference can also result from disposing a phase shifting provision in a crosstalk coupling path located between two optical waveguides.
