Abstract:
An oscillator includes a transistor, a first bias resistor connected between the base of the transistor and a power input terminal, and a second bias resistor connected between the base of the transistor and a control-voltage input terminal. When the control-voltage input terminal is grounded, the bias voltage at the base of the transistor is below a predetermined threshold, thus causing the oscillator to stop oscillation. When the control-voltage input terminal is open, the bias voltage at the base of the transistor is above the threshold, thus causing the oscillator to start oscillation.
Abstract:
A high-frequency superposing module for driving a laser diode includes an oscillating circuit and an impedance matching circuit. The impedance matching circuit includes a capacitor connected in series between the emitter of a transistor and the terminal through which a laser-diode drive signal is output; and a capacitor connected in parallel between the drive-signal output terminal and the ground. The oscillating circuit includes an inductor serving as a choke coil connected between the drive-signal output terminal and the collector of the transistor, thus allowing the drive-signal output terminal to serve as a power input terminal for the oscillating circuit.
Abstract:
To equip an optical wavelength dividing multiplexing system with a variable optical band-pass filter, and to provide an apparatus to change the center wavelength and the band width of an optical-band pass filter according to an optical wavelength band to be transmitted, and a method of controlling the apparatus. An optical wavelength multiplexing device 100 includes a CPL (multiplexing portion) 3 that multiplexes optical signals and outputs the multiplexed signal, a BPF (optical band-pass filter) 9 that is capable of changing its center wavelength and band width and receives an optical multiplex signal output by the multiplexing portion and lets the received optical multiplex signal pass therethrough, a storage portion that stores wavelength band control information 4 specifying the center wavelength and the band width, and a control portion that controls the center wavelength and the band width of the BPF 9 based on the wavelength band control information 4. The control circuit 10 controls the center wavelength and the band width of the BPF 9 based on the wavelength band control information 4.

An apparatus for assessing a failure in a transmission path optical fiber includes: a detection unit which detects information on wavelength discontinuity of a signal wavelength and wavelength discontinuity of an SV wavelength of an own station; a transmission unit which periodically transmits the information detected by the detection unit to other stations; a collection unit which periodically receives and collects, in the own station, information on wavelength discontinuity and wavelength discontinuity of an SV wavelength detected by other stations; and an assessment unit which assesses a failure in a transmission path optical fiber based on the information detected by the detection unit and the information collected by the collection unit.

Abstract:
On a mounting surface of a multilayered component as a surface mounting component, an isolated electrode is arranged so as to be isolated from other terminal electrodes on the mounting surface. For solder applied to the isolated electrode, the application range can be securely limited to an area within the isolated electrode.
