    Abstract: A waveguide element includes a first waveguide and a second waveguide. The first waveguide includes a first main rib and a first slab that has a smaller thickness than that of the first main rib and in which a slab mode of light propagates. The second waveguide includes a second main rib that is optically coupled with the first main rib and in which the light propagates, a second slab that has a smaller thickness than that of the second main rib, that is optically coupled with the first slab, and in which the slab mode propagates, and a side rib that has a larger thickness than that of the second slab. The slab mode that propagates through the second slab transitions to the side rib in accordance with travel of the light that propagates in the first main rib and the second main rib.

    Abstract: A control device of modulating signal generates high-side signal and low-side signal. The high-side signal takes level in accordance with level of AC component of a monitor signal obtained by photoelectric conversion of modulated light, when the polarity of the AC component is positive, or its magnitude is zero. The high-side signal further takes constant level when the polarity of the AC component is negative. The low-side signal takes constant level when the polarity of the AC component is positive. The low-side signal further takes level in accordance with level of the AC component when the polarity of the AC component is negative, or its magnitude is zero. Then, the control device adjusts level of the modulating signal based on a greatest value of absolute values of levels taken by the high-side signal and a greatest value of absolute values of levels taken by the low-side signal.

    Abstract: An optical transmitter includes an optical modulator, a tunable optical filter, a temperature sensor, and a processor. The tunable optical filter is provided on an output side of the optical modulator and transmits light of a frequency corresponding to a control voltage. The temperature sensor detects a temperature around the tunable optical filter. The processor detects an optical loss occurring in the tunable optical filter, calculates a width of a range of the control voltage in which the detected optical loss is smaller than a specified threshold, adjusts the control voltage based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, and shifts the control voltage by a specified amount that is larger than zero and smaller than or equal to a half of the calculated width of the range when the optical loss is larger than or equal to the threshold.

    Abstract: An equalizer has a first tapped delay line in which N taps (N is a positive integer) are connected in cascade, a second tapped delay line having one tap and connected in parallel with the first tapped delay line, a first multiplier configured to multiply signals extracted from the N taps by corresponding coefficients, a second multiplier configured to multiply a signal output from the second tapped delay line by a second coefficient, and an adder configured to add products of the first multiplier and a product of the second multiplier. The first tapped delay line has a fixed delay, and the second tapped delay line has a variable delay changeable at a 1/M resolution of the fixed delay, where M is a number greater than 1.
