    摘要: A high-speed optical amplifier is considered to be an important optical device because of an increasing demand of routing, which is accompanied by an increase in complexity of networks. It is difficult to satisfy a response performance by related-art techniques, and there has been a problem in achieving a high-speed response performance of 10 microseconds or less.An optical amplifier according to the present invention includes: an input monitor means 500; an optical amplification means 310 including an optical amplification medium 300, and a control means 400 for performing feed-forward control. When the optical amplification means is controlled by the feed-forward control in response to a signal of the input monitor means 500, an overshoot signal is applied as a control signal so that a slow response performance specific to the optical amplification medium has been improved, and thereby high-speed response performance has been achieved.

    摘要: A flip-flop circuit of the present invention includes a first switch and a second switch which are connected in series to each other. The first switch includes: two input ports upon which light source light and signal light are incident; two output ports for outputting an optical output; and a thermal lens forming element for forming a thermal lens in a predetermined optical inputting condition. Although the second switch is composed in the same manner as that of the first switch, a relation between the wave-lengths to be utilized is inverted. When a state is changed from OFF to ON, a pulse signal is inputted for setting and one of the rays of output light of the second switch is fed-back to the first switch so as to maintain the state of ON. When the state is changed from ON to OFF, a pulse of additional signal light is inputted. Due to the foregoing, the two states of ON and OFF can be stably maintained.

    摘要: An optical deflection apparatus includes a signal light source configured to emit signal light having one or more wavelengths, a control light source configured to emit control light having a wavelength different from the wavelength of the signal light, a thermal lens forming optical element including a light absorption layer configured to transmit the signal light and selectively absorb the control light, and a beam-condensing unit configured to cause beam-condensation of the control light and the signal light at different convergence points in the light absorption layer. The thermal lens forming optical element causes convergence and divergence of the control light and the signal light on an incidence plane of the light absorption layer or its vicinity in a light traveling direction, wherein a thermal lens is reversibly formed in the light absorption layer due to a temperature increase occurring in a region where the control light is absorbed and its peripheral region, and the thermal lens changes a refractive index to change a traveling direction of the signal light.
