    摘要: An optical transmission system having a transmitter which generates an optical signal and amplifies the optical signal, a receiver which receives a transmitted optical signal, and an optical fiber which receives and transmits amplified optical signal from the transmitter to the receiver. The optical fiber is a single-mode optical fiber and has an end face to be optically coupled through physical contact with another optical fiber. A transparent film made of a material having a melting temperature higher than a melting temperature of a material of the single-mode optical fiber is formed on the end face of the single-mode optical fiber.

    摘要: An optical device and an optical integrated circuit which incorporate an optical switch and have a novel function. Light sources are respectively coupled to two input ends of an X-type 2.times.2 optical switch, and light receivers are respectively coupled to two output ends of the optical switch, thereby obtaining an optical device which is capable of performing both AND and OR logics. A light source is coupled to one input end of an optical switch, and a light receiver is provided at one output end from which the light emitted from the light source emerges when no electric power is supplied to the optical switch, whereby it is possible to construct a system in which, even when one terminal has a power failure, there is no hindrance to other terminals. If an optical switch is arranged such as to use driving electric power as a modulating signal, the optical switch can serve as a modulator in which the output from one output end can be employed to monitor a modulated optical signal. In addition, if the optical switch is formed into, e.g., a carrier injection type optical switch using a semiconductor, the above-described devices can be fabricated as integrated circuit.
