An optical transmission module includes a bias current driver circuit adapted to input bias current set in response to a temperature of a laser diode to the laser diode, a modulation current driver circuit adapted to input modulation current set in response to the temperature of the laser diode to the laser diode, and a decision circuit adapted to decide whether or not an error of optical output power of the laser diode detected by a light reception device with respect to a target value of the optical output power of the laser diode at the set bias current and the set modulation current is equal to or higher than a threshold value. The modulation current driver circuit inputs, while the error is equal to or higher than the threshold value, correction modulation current higher than the set modulation current to the laser diode.

The present invention relates to an optical modulator allowing appropriate interaction between signal electrodes and an optical waveguide, only by matching phases at input ends of the signal electrodes. The optical modulator includes an optical waveguide with its center part branched into two at two Y-branch waveguides, forming first and second waveguide arms, a first signal electrode transmitting a first electric signal interacting with first light propagating through the first waveguide arm in a predetermined manner, a second signal electrode transmitting a second electric signal interacting with second light propagating through the second waveguide arm in a predetermined manner, and earthed electrodes, and can match the interacting timing between the first electric signal and the first light to the interacting timing between the second electric signal and the second light, at a first input end supplying the first electric signal and a second input end supplying the second electric signal.
摘要:
A first optical waveguide, a second optical waveguide, a first electrode, and a second electrode are integrated on a substrate. An optical modulator is provided with a clock signal generator for generating an RZ signal by applying a clock signal to either the first or second electrode, and an NRZ data signal generator for supplying an NRZ data signal to the remaining electrode. Thus, the space required by the optical modulator is reduced while tolerance of the same is improved, thus reducing costs for constructing the optical modulator.

A rod lens fixing method which can prevent the generation of cracks in a rod lens due to annealing to be carried out after welding a lens assembly. The rod lens fixing method includes the steps of providing a flanged split sleeve having an axial slit extending continuously from one end of the flanged split sleeve to the other end thereof, the axial slit being wide enough at least a flange of the flanged split sleeve to permit laser welding; press-fitting the rod lens into the flanged split sleeve; and applying a solder into the axial slit to solder the rod lens to the flange split sleeve. This method further includes the steps of inserting the flanged split sleeve into a bore formed at one end portion of a sleeve, the bore having a diameter larger than an outer diameter of the flanged split sleeve and smaller than an outer diameter of the flange; and laser-welding the flange to one end surface of the sleeve at a plurality of points on an outer circumference of the flange and in the axial slit. The laser welding in the axial slit of the flange causes the acting of shrinkage forces in the flange to thereby prevent the generation of cracks in the rods lens during the annealing.
