    摘要: The intensity of signals in optical networks can be controlled using a variable optical attenuator (VOA). The present invention is a VOA that is particularly well suited for optical networks, for example to provide channel-by-channel normalization of gain control of wavelength division multiplexed signals. The inventive VOA includes a waveguide having a cladding that includes an electro-optical material and electrodes that produce an electric field within the electro-optical material when a voltage difference is applied to the electrodes. The VOA also includes a layer that is parallel to the core of the waveguide and that optically couples to the core to receive light from the attenuated signal. A power meter receives light from the layer as an indication of the amount of light attenuated from the signal and for controlling the voltage to the electrodes.

    摘要: It is an object of the present invention to enhance laser beam transmitting efficiency by accurately controlling an interval between a light emitting (light receiving) element (20) and an optical wave-guide substrate (1) without causing any fluctuation in the interval in a mounting structure of the light transmitting element in which the light emitting (light receiving) element (20) is mounted on the optical wave-guide substrate (1). When the light emitting (light receiving) element is joined to the sub-mount chip (4) and when the sub-mount chip (4) is joined to the optical wave-guide while the element is being directed to the substrate side, the sub-mount chip and the optical wave-guide substrate are joined to each other by the solder bump (6). A post (5) is arranged for regulating an interval between the light emitting (light receiving) element and the optical wave-guide substrate.
