    Abstract: A compensating current is applied at one or more points in a signal processing path to compensate for one or both of a dark or offset current present in an input signal. In certain implementations, the dark or offset current is present in a signal generated by a photomultiplier device. The dark or offset current may be monitored in an output of the signal processing path and, the monitoring being used to determine how much compensation is needed in the signal processing path and to allocate where in the signal processing path the compensation current will be applied.

    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to quickly and precisely correct the measured value for light reception power to the actual value with few resources, by installing a correction device for a light reception power monitor for signal light in an optical module. The correction device is equipped with a correction table which is referenced when correcting the measured value for the light reception power of signal light, and in this correction table multiple correction values are stored in advance on the basis of the correspondence relationships between multiple reference values and multiple actual values. In the correction table, for segments wherein the change in the actual values with respect to the change in the measured values is small, the interval between the reference values is made smaller and more correction values are stored than for segments wherein the change in the actual values with respect to the change in the measured values is large. When an input value indicating the measured value for the light reception power of the signal light matches a reference value in the correction table, the correction device reads from the correction table the correction value corresponding to the reference value. When an input value does not match a reference value in the correction table, the correction device calculates a correction value in accordance with a prescribed calculation formula on the basis of the input value.

The optical measurement apparatus includes a light receiving element capable of converting a light intensity of light to be analyzed into an electrical signal; an input terminal to which the electrical signal is input; a first amplifier and a nonlinear element configuring a logarithmic amplifier; offset resistors; a switch unit; and a controller. An inverting input terminal of the first amplifier is electrically connected to the input terminal. The offset resistors have different resistance values. The switch unit can switch an offset resistor electrically connected between the voltage source and the input terminal, of the offset resistors. An offset current is input to the input terminal by the offset resistor electrically connected between the voltage source and the input terminal. The controller measures the light intensity based on an output voltage value of the first amplifier.
