    摘要: Speeding up of parallel computation is to be achieved. A parallel computation method comprises a step for distributing respective first-level small pieces of data, that are formed by dividing data, to respective computation nodes in plural computation nodes; a step for further dividing, in at least one first computation node in the plural computation nodes, the first-level small piece of data into second-level small pieces of data; a step for transferring, in parallel, the respective second-level small pieces of data from the at least one first computation node to the plural computation nodes; a step for transferring, in parallel, the transferred second-level small pieces of data from the respective computation nodes in the plural computation nodes to at least one second computation node in the plural computation nodes; and a step for reconstructing, in the at least one second computation node, the first-level small piece of data by using the second-level small pieces of data transferred from the plural computation nodes.

    摘要: An optical communication component includes three or more couplers, a pair of waveguides, a phase shifter, a detector, and a controller. Each of the couplers multiplexes two input optical signals and two-branch outputs the multiplexed optical signals. Each of the pair of waveguides connects between the couplers and outputs each of the optical signals two-branch output from one of the couplers to another one of the couplers. The phase shifter, included in each of the waveguides, adjusts a phase amount of each of the optical signals passing through the waveguides. The detector detects an amount of power of the optical signal that has been subjected to phase adjustment and that is two-branch output from a most downstream coupler, from among the couplers, located in the traveling direction of the optical signal. The controller controls, based on the detected amount of power, each of the phase shifters.

    摘要: Provided is a SIS-type electro-optic modulator capable of realizing highly efficient optical coupling with a rib-type Si waveguide, improving modulation efficiency, realizing reduction of electric capacity and lead-out resistance in stacked semiconductor layers. The modulator includes a SIS junction constituted by first and second semiconductor layers having different type of conductivity and a dielectric layer interposed therebetween, wherein an electrical signal from electrodes coupled to the first and second semiconductor layers causes free carriers accumulate, deplete or invert on both sides of the dielectric layer, thereby modulating a free carrier concentration felt by an optical signal electric filed, light having a polarization component orthogonal to the width direction of the SIS junction is incident on the dielectric layer, and the width of the SIS junction is λ/neff or less (λ is the wavelength of the incident light and neff is an effective refractive index of the modulator to the incident light).

    摘要: An optical transmission apparatus includes first and second optical waveguides to transmit light of multiple wavelengths; optical couplers on the waveguides, to couple the lights transmitted through the waveguides, so as to output the coupled light to the waveguides; phase shifters provided at preceding stages of part of the optical couplers, to change a phase shift amount of the light transmitted through the first and/or second optical waveguides, wherein the number of optical couplers in the part is greater than or equal to the number of the types of wavelengths; a monitor to monitor the intensity of the light output to the second optical waveguide via the optical coupler at the last stage; and a controller to control the phase shifters by changing the phase shift amount for each of the phase shifters in a direction in which the output of the monitor decreases.

    摘要: Provided is an optical transmitter in which a forward-end surface of a semiconductor laser is set to an effective reflectance with respect to near-end reflection. The optical transmitter is provided with a semiconductor laser and at least one optical function element to which output light from the semiconductor laser is input. The optical transmitter is characterized in that: a signal-to-noise ratio in an optical receiver which receives an optical signal output from the optical transmitter includes a first contribution component caused by re-entry of reflected return light from the at least one optical function element into the semiconductor laser, and a second contribution component caused irrespective of the strength of the optical signal input to the optical receiver; and the reflectance of a forward-end surface of the semiconductor laser is set to a value in a predetermined range including a reflectance that maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio due to the first contribution component and the second contribution component with respect to a change in the reflectance of the forward-end surface.
