Abstract:
After implementing a scrambler upon an electric signal of digital signals to be transmitted to a user terminal, this electric signal is converted into a digital optical signal, and an analog optical signal and this digital optical signal are multiplexed by wavelength division multiplexing, thereby reducing influence of cross-talk interference that is exerted on the analog optical signal by the digital optical signal.

Abstract:
In an optical module in which a transmitter and a receiver that respectively outputs and receives optical signals are stored in a casing, the transmitter and the receiver are connected to a common power line and to a common ground line, and a ferrite bead is arranged on the ground line in the receiver. The ferrite bead absorbs a high-frequency current component out of components in an electric signal passing through the ground line on which the ferrite bead is arranged. An inductance component that evolves on a ground line and a power line of a light receiving element and oscillation of a series resonance circuit that is formed of a capacitance component of the light receiving element are suppressed to reduce crosstalk.

The present invention is an optical apparatus which enables highly accurate detection of the LD ambient temperature by means of a simple constitution. The apparatus of the present invention therefore comprises a laser diode for emitting output light; a photodiode disposed in proximity to the laser diode; a forward bias supplier for supplying forward bias voltage to the photodiode when the laser diode is not emitting the output signal light; and an ambient temperature detection unit for detecting ambient temperature of the laser diode based on a terminal voltage of the photodiode to which the forward bias voltage is supplied by the forward bias supplier.
Abstract:
In a light transmission apparatus which controls an optical excitation intensity of an amplifying optical fiber or an attenuation of an optical variable attenuator based on an output light intensity, the output light intensity is sampled. When a change rate of an input light intensity exceeds a threshold value, the optical excitation intensity or the attenuation is controlled based on the output light intensity immediately before the change rate exceeds the threshold value. Accordingly, an occurrence of an optical surge is prevented and it is made possible to output an optical signal free from a signal error or a signal disconnected state.

Abstract:
An electromagnetic wave suppression material is fixed to a case of a communication module. The electromagnetic wave suppression material suppresses radiation of electromagnetic waves by coming into contact with a cage that is a module insertion portion of a chassis when the communication module is inserted into the cage. A piezoelectric element is provided on the case, and located between the case and the electromagnetic wave suppression material. When the communication module is inserted into the cage, the controller applies a voltage to the piezoelectric element to stretch it by the applied voltage, thereby increasing contact pressure between the cage and the electromagnetic wave suppression material.
Abstract:
An optical amplifier amplifies a light signal inputted to an optical amplifier fiber and outputs an amplified light signal, by exciting the fiber with an excitation light. The optical amplifier can keep its output light level constant and stable and reduce the excitation light when the light inputted to the fiber is cut off, just by detecting the optical output level at a post-stage of the fiber. The optical amplifier comprises a first control circuit, a second control circuit and a selector circuit. The first control circuit amplifies the difference between a first predetermined voltage and an o/e-converted voltage of the optical amplifier fiber output light to output an amplified voltage. The second control circuit amplifies the difference between the o/e-converted voltage of the excitation light and a selected one of the first control circuit output voltage and a second predetermined voltage to output an amplified voltage and controls the excitation light based on the second control circuit output voltage. The selector circuit detects a change in the first control circuit output voltage and depending on the change, selects the first control circuit output voltage or a second predetermined voltage.
