    摘要: An optical device for providing threshold and comparison functions. The device comprises first and second SOA's having respective first and second propagation paths along which the first and second optical signals, input as signals Pin1(&lgr;1) and Pin2(&lgr;2) travel in first and second forward directions. A feedback path is provided using couplers to interconnect the outputs of the SOA's. As a result, a portion of the optical signals output from each SOA is supplied backwards into the output of the other SOA as feedback optical control signals Pfeedback1(&lgr;1) and Pfeedback2(&lgr;2). The feedback optical control signals modulate the gain of the forwards travelling optical signals by cross gain modulation (XGM). In contrast to prior art devices, the optical control signal is supplied backwards into the SOA's in a counter-propagating configuration. This allows much shorter feedback path lengths to be achieved in comparison to what is possible with prior art co-propagating configurations. Consequently, much higher bit rates can be achieved. The device may also be implemented in planar waveguide technology.

    摘要: The detector comprises an electro-optical section for the signal analysis, a transmission fibre-optic, a fibre-optic coupling of high immunity to environmental noise, and a fibre-optic sensor terminating in a reflecting element. It can be provided in either homodyne or heterodyne version (phase or frequency modulation). This latter version has the advantage of detecting phase modulations exceeding 2.pi. radians. Both the versions have the advantage of enabling measurements to be made which are not influenced by environmental disturbances affecting the transmission fibre-optic.
