摘要:
The operating point is stabilized at the MAX or the MIN of its optical frequency discriminating characteristic. Under the stabilized operating point, the detected difference between the average of the light intensity and a set value is fed back to a data modulator so that the average value converges on a set value when a predetermined optical frequency deviation is produced. The operating point is also stabilized at the MED of said characteristic. Under the stabilized operating point, a low-frequency signal component is extracted from an electric signal output by means of synchronous detection. The operating point is stabilized at the MAX or the MIN of said characteristic. Under the stabilized operating point, a low-frequency signal component is twice in frequency by means of synchronous detection. In the fourth and fifth aspects, means such as synchronous detection is not required for the stabilization control of an operating point.

An interferometer for demodulating a differential M-phase shift keying signal includes a PLC type interferometer main body, a heating portion that heats the PLC type interferometer main body, and an intermediate member having a higher stiffness than that of the PLC type interferometer main body, for bonding the PLC type interferometer main body and the heating portion with each other while being sandwiched therebetween. A linear expansion coefficient difference between the PLC type interferometer main body and the intermediate member is equal to or smaller than 4.5×10−6/° C., and a thermal conductivity difference between the PLC type interferometer main body and the intermediate member is equal to or larger than 10 W/mK. A phase of an optical signal flowing through the interferometer is adjusted by using the heating portion and a second heating portion.

A data modulator unit generates a DQPSK optical signal in accordance with a data signal. A phase shift unit provides a phase difference of π/2 between a pair of arms. A photodetector converts an output signal of the data modulator unit into an electrical signal. A filter is a low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency lower than a symbol frequency, and filters an output signal of the photodetector. A monitor unit detects power of an output signal of the filter. A phase difference control unit adjusts the amount of phase shift in the phase shift unit so as to minimize power of an output signal of the filter.

As a result, it becomes possible to easily realize the chromatic dispersion monitoring apparatus of low cost, which is also capable to be arranged on an in-line.
