    摘要: An optical transmitter device capable of high-speed shutdown of optical output. A bias controller generates a low-frequency signal, extracts the frequency component of a low-frequency signal from an electrical signal fed back thereto, and compares the phase of the frequency component of the low-frequency signal generated thereby with that of the frequency component of the extracted low-frequency signal, to generate a direct-current voltage with which the operating point of an optical modulator is optimized. Using a half-wave voltage of the optical modulator and an optimum voltage, a bottom voltage calculation unit calculates a bottom voltage corresponding to a minimum of the operation characteristic curve of the modulator. A voltage selection unit selects the direct-current voltage during normal operation, to apply the optical modulator with a bias voltage derived from the direct-current voltage, and selects the bottom voltage at the time of shutdown, to apply the bottom voltage to the modulator.

    摘要: A receiver for coherent optical communication in a phase diversity system. An optical hybrid circuit receives a signal beam and receives a local-oscillator beam which has a predetermined phase shift. The optical hybrid circuit branches each beam into pairs, each pair having one signal beam and one local-oscillator beam. These beam pairs are output to first and second photodetectors which each apply a photoelectric conversion, thus producing first and second output signals. The output signals are output to an electrical 90.degree. hybrid circuit which shifts the first signal by 90.degree. and adds it to the second signal to produce a first output signal, and shifts the second signal by 90.degree. and adds it to the first signal to produce a second output signal. The first and second output signals are applied to first and second demodulators, respectively, which delay the signals by a delay corresponding to their frequency. The demodulators output the delayed signals to an adder which adds the two signals to produce an output signal. As a result, the receiver is capable of compensating the wavelength dispension is an optical fiber to secure an enhanced receiving sensitivity.

    摘要: After mixing the signal light and the local oscillation light with a mixing circuit, two intersecting polarization components are divided by a polarization splitter and respective components are subjected to heterodyne detection by optical receivers. Thereafter, in an electric signal stage, the intermediate frequency signal outputted from the optical receivers are applied to a 90-degree hybrid coupler and the output signal from one of the output ports is demodulated by a demodulator. On the other hand, an intermediate frequency signal outputted from the optical receivers are subjected to a subtraction to provide a principal axis angle monitor signal for the signal light. The signal outputted from the output port from the 90-degree hybrid coupler is used to monitor the elliptic ratio of the signal light and these monitor signals are applied to the polarization control circuit. The polarization control circuit drives the polarization operation apparatus based on said monitor signal to control the polarization state (i.e. a principal axis angle and the elliptic ratio) of the signal light to achieve the optimum state.

    摘要: The direct control of a change in output amplitude of the modulator driver resulting from changes in the ambient environment or by aging is difficult because deterioration is generated in the drive waveform under the condition that the drive signal of the radio frequency is output from the modulator driver of the Mach-Zehnder modulator. A low frequency element included in the modulator output is monitored by superimposing the low frequency signals under the in-phase condition to two envelopes corresponding to the H input and L input of the drive signal. Amplitude of the drive signal outputted from the modulator driver can be adjusted without deterioration of the drive waveform.

    摘要: Disclosed is a laser diode protecting circuit adapted to prevent a laser diode from producing an excessive emission when the laser diode is driven at low temperature, thereby assuring that the laser diode will not be damaged or degraded in terms of its characteristic. When the laser diode is started at low temperature, a laser diode protecting circuit has a power monitor circuit for monitoring backward power of the laser diode and a laser diode current limiting circuit for limiting the laser diode current when the backward power becomes equal to the set power. When the laser diode temperature subsequently rises and the backward power falls below the set power, an automatic current control circuit performs automatic current control in such a manner that the laser diode current attains a set current value. Alternatively, a temperature monitor circuit monitors the temperature of the laser diode and the laser diode current limiting circuit limits the laser diode current when the monitored temperature of the laser diode is less than the set temperature. When the laser diode temperature exceeds the set temperature, the automatic current control circuit performs automatic current control in such a manner that the laser diode attains the set current value.
