    摘要: An avalanche photo diode provided with a guard ring around a photo detecting region having a pn junction, in which semiconductor layers of the photo detecting region having a pn junction, different in conductivity type from a semiconductor of the guard ring, are composed of a second semiconductor layer formed in contact with a first semiconductor layer forming the pn junction of the photo detecting region and of the same conductivity type as the semiconductor of the guard ring, and a third semiconductor layer formed in contact with the second semiconductor layer and having a larger band gap than the second semiconductor layer, and in which the tip end of the guard ring is formed to extend down into the third semiconductor layer. An avalanche photo diode can be formed to be provided with a uniformly thick, first semiconductor layer forming a photo detecting region and a second semiconductor layer forming a first pn junction between it and the first semiconductor layer, in which third and fourth semiconductor layers of the same composition as each other, respectively having larger band gaps than those of the first and second semiconductor layers, are provided to form therebetween a second pn junction which extends from the first pn junction to surround the peripheral portion of the first semiconductor layer.

    摘要: An oscillator oscillates at a predetermined reference frequency, and a reference signal light sender generates light (reference signal light) of a specific wavelength deeply modulated by output from the oscillator. A frequency divider frequency-divides the output from the oscillator into a certain number, and outputs a tone signal of a predetermined measurement frequency. Output from the frequency divider is applied to selected one of a plurality of optical transmission signal senders via one of a plurality of switches, and is used to slightly intensity-modulate a corresponding optical transmission signal. An optical divider in an optical repeater outputs most of output light from an optical amplifier onto an optical fiber transmission line toward a terminal station, and applies small amounts of the light to a measuring circuit. The measuring circuit synchronously detects the measurement frequency component in the received light using the reference frequency obtained from the reference signal light of the specific wavelength. A modulator slightly varies the amplification gain of the other optical amplifier that amplifies the signal light travelling on the other optical fiber transmission line in response to results of measurement by the measuring circuit.

    摘要: A distributed feedback semiconductor laser which has periodic corrugations formed in a light emitting layer or an adjoining layer to extend in the direction of travel of light. A window region formed by a semiconductor layer larger in energy gap than the light emitting layer is provided on the extension line of one end of a laser region formed in the light emitting layer. The length of the window region is so limited as to prevent substantial reflection of laser output light in the window region. The end face of the laser on the opposite side from the window region is coated with a film for increasing reflectivity.
