摘要:
An optical transmission system wherein a main signal light is amplified by Raman amplification, and noise light (ASS light) produced by the Raman amplification can be corrected with a simple configuration and with high accuracy. The optical transmission system includes, in each transmission section: a cutoff section for transmitting/cutting off a main signal light outputted from the optical transmitter on the preceding stage and inputted into the Raman amplification medium on an optical transmission line; a control section for varying the power of the pumping light supplied to the Raman amplification medium and changing the state of the cutoff section depending on the variation of the pumping light power; a monitor section for measuring the power of the pumping light supplied to the Raman amplification medium and the power of the light propagated through the optical transmission line and inputted into an optical transmitter on the succeeding stage; and a processing section for separately detecting the power of the main signal light and the power of the ASS light on the basis of the results of the measurement by the monitor section, and correcting the ASS light.

An optical modulator for modulating light emitted from a signal light source has a substrate having electrooptic effect, an optical waveguide of a Mach-Zehnder type formed on the substrate, an electrode formed on the substrate to control light propagated in the optical waveguide, an interference light generating means for making radiation light radiated from the optical waveguide and signal light leaking from the optical waveguide interfere with each other to generate interference light, and emitting the interference light from an end surface of the substrate, a photo-detector for monitoring the interference light of the radiation light and the signal light, and a signal controlling circuit for controlling an operating point of the optical modulator according to a change of the interference light monitored by the photo-detector It is thereby possible to prevent degradation of a distinction ratio due to a shift of the operating point of the optical modulator so as to allow stable optical modulation, while facilitating a design of the mechanism of the optical modulator.
摘要:
An optical waveguide device including a package housing having an element mounting surface, an element inserting groove opening to the element mounting surface, and a cutout as a space opening to an inner surface of the element inserting groove; and an optical waveguide element having a dielectric substrate, an optical waveguide formed in a surface of the dielectric substrate, and an electrode formed over the surface of the dielectric substrate, the optical waveguide element being inserted and fixed in the element inserting groove of the package housing by using an adhesive. The cutout opens also to the element mounting surface. In applying the adhesive to the bottom surface of the element inserting groove and inserting the optical waveguide element into the element inserting groove, the adhesive flows into the cutout and is prevented from flowing up to the element mounting surface. Further, a working space for application of the adhesive to the bottom surface of the element inserting groove can be ensured by the cutout.
摘要:
A buffer solution is sampled from a buffer solution vessel and is dispensed into a reaction vessel on a reaction table by first sampling/dispensing means, and a specimen containing an antigen or antibody to be measured is sampled from a specimen vessel and is dispensed into the reaction vessel by second sampling/dispensing means. A reagent containing insoluble carriers to which is bonded an antibody or antigen that specifically reacts with the antigen or antibody in the specimen is sampled from a reagent vessel and dispensed into the reaction vessel by third sampling/dispensing means. The entire reaction table is shaken continuously during mixing of the buffer solution, reagent and specimen, and the reaction vessel is maintained in an isothermal state. A stable antigen-antibody reaction in the resulting reaction solution is thus promoted to form an agglutinate of the insoluble carriers. The reaction solution is sampled from the reaction vessel and dispensed into a sample chamber by fourth sampling/dispensing means. The dispensed reaction solution is transferred to a detector through which the insoluble carriers are passed and in which a signal is generated based upon a difference in terms of electrical or optical characteristics. The degree of agglutination of the insoluble carriers is obtained as a numerical value, thus making it possible to quantify the antigen or antibody of interest contained in the specimen.
