In accordance with the present invention, a pn junction is formed in the upper cladding layer and at least one buffer layer of an energy gap smaller than that of the upper cladding layer but larger than that of the optical waveguide layer is interposed between the upper cladding layer and the optical waveguide layer.

    摘要: An optical modulator in which waveguide regions are disposed at opposite ends of a modulation region to reduce the capacitance of the device and prevent pn junctions from exposure to air. On an n-side electrode there are laminated a substrate, an n-type clad layer and an optical modulation waveguide layer. A modulation region lies at the center of the optical modulation waveguide layer along the direction of travel of light, and two waveguide regions are disposed at opposite ends of the modulation region, respectively. On the optical modulation waveguide layer which constitutes the modulation region there are laminated a non-doped layer, a p-type clad layer and a p-side electrode, and a semi-insulating semiconductor is formed on the optical modulation waveguide layer which forms the two waveguide regions.

    摘要: To perform waveform shaping, retiming and amplification of the transmitted pulse signal of a binary PCM fiber optic communication employing an optical pulse signal which has a pulse duty factor within 1 with respect to a time slot, an optical waveform shaping device is proposed in which the optical pulse signal is branched by an optical branch circuit into two optical signals. The one transmitted optical signal passes through a photodetector, a band-pass filter for extracting the fundamental frequency component of the signal, an amplifier and a delay circuit, so that the signal is converted to a sinusoidal voltage synchronized with the optical pulse signal. The other optical signal passes through a semiconductor electrical absorption type optical modulator which is driven by the sinusoidal voltage and a DC voltage, so that the width of a gate waveform is changed by controlling the amplitude of the sinusoidal voltage and the DC voltage.

    摘要: Image forming apparatus (100) creates a toner pattern on intermediate transfer belt (11) as a preprocessing of gradation correction, and calculates a cycle at which density unevenness is largest. Then, a toner image for gradation correction is formed so as to cancel cyclic unevenness at a cycle at which the largest density unevenness occurs. As a result of this, it becomes possible to suppress the deterioration of density detection accuracy and perform a highly accurate gradation correction even if density unevenness of any cycle occurs.
