A polarized wave diversity optical receiver for coherent optical communication including: an optical local oscillating circuit (7) for oscillating local oscillating light; a mixing circuit (8) for mixing signal light and the local oscillating light to obtain two polarized components; a detecting circuit (9) for detecting the polarized component to output intermediate frequency signals (e.sub.S and e.sub.P); and a frequency control circuit (11) for controlling, in accordance with the intermediate frequency signals (e.sub.S and e.sub.P), the oscillating frequency of the optical local oscillating circuit (7). To ensure that the intermediate frequency does not disappear, the frequency control circuit (11) outputs a combined signal of a sum and a difference of the intermediate frequency signals (e.sub.S and e.sub.P).

An electronic circuit module has an electronic circuit module main body and two signal pedestals, one on each side of the main body. The first signal pedestal is formed at a level higher than the second signal pedestal by an amount equal to the vertical thickness of the second signal pedestal. Signal lines are formed on a bottom surface of the first signal pedestal and on a top surface of the second signal pedestal. When connected to adjacent electronic circuit modules, the first signal pedestal of the electronic circuit module overlaps a second signal pedestal of one adjacent electronic circuit module, and the second signal pedestal underlaps a first signal pedestal of another adjacent electronic circuit module to electrically connect electronic circuit modules in multiple stages, improving signal connections and reducing the size of the electronic circuit module package.

A clock signal detection circuit includes a diode to which a clock signal is applied as an input. If a voltage VD IN on the anode side of the diode is greater than a voltage VD OUT on the cathode side, the clock signal is fed into a transmission line and arrives at a reflecting load upon elapse of a prescribed delay time. When the voltage VD IN on the anode side of the diode becomes smaller than the voltage VD OUT on the cathode side, the clock signal is reflected by the reflecting load and returns to the cathode of the diode through the transmission line. This introduction and reflection of the clock signal is repeated at the clock signal period so that the amplitude on the output side of the diode is enlarged, thereby making it possible to obtain, from an averaging circuit, a clock detection voltage substantially equal to the amplitude value of the clock signal.
摘要:
A synchronization control unit for synchronizing serial-to-parallel (S/P) converters operating in parallel, or parallel-to-serial (P/S) converters operating in parallel. More specifically, first and serial-to-parallel (S/P) converters produce respectively corresponding first and second clock signals and operate in parallel. The first and second clock signals are in synchronization, and a synchronization failure occurs when the first and second clock signals fall out of synchronization. When a synchronization failure occurs, the synchronization control unit resets one of the first and second clock signals so that synchronization between the first and second clock signals is restored within a definite time period. Moreover, the synchronization control unit can perform the same operation with parallel-to-serial (P/S) converters, instead of with S/P converters.

A direct modulation PSK system and method, in a coherent optical fiber transmission system, in which an injection current supplied to a laser diode is adapted to be directly varied is disclosed. In this system or method, a modulating current pulse is superposed on a bias current for the laser diode so that a specified phase condition may be satisfied. Thereby, a differential coding circuit and an external modulator being indispensable for a DPSK system become unnecessary and, in addition, the system becomes less susceptible to the influence of wavelength dispersion than the DPSK system and able to reproduce the carrier.

摘要:
An optical receiving device which is improved in the accuracy of optical input interruption detection as well as in the alarm response and thus is capable of high-quality detection of interruption of the optical input. A light receiving element receives an optical signal and converts it into an electrical signal. A bias control section stabilizes a bias voltage applied to the light receiving element against variations in temperature and power supply. An optical input interruption protection section protects the light receiving element using a protective voltage so that the light receiving element may not be broken due to an excessive rise of the bias voltage when the optical input is interrupted. An alarm issuing section monitors the photocurrent of the light receiving element and issues an alarm on detecting an interruption of the optical input when the bias voltage and the protective voltage become equal to each other.
