  • Patent number: 11971590
    Abstract: In the adjustment method of optical coupling for an optical integrated circuit according to the present disclosure, the optimal adjustment position of optical coupling is determined on the basis of, for example, a sum of a plurality of photocurrents at electrodes on arm waveguides respectively formed on the plurality of MZIs in the polarization-multiplexing IQ modulator. According to the maximum value of the sum of the plurality of photocurrents, the light condensing spot position is adjusted to the center position of the end face core of the optical waveguide of the integrated chip. Typically, the light condensing spot position is adjusted to the center of the end face core by displacing the two input lenses.

  • Patent number: 11973535
    Abstract: A wavelength monitoring circuit obtains a light output proportional to only an input optical signal, independent of wavelength, by adding a light split circuit to the configuration in the related art, or changing the light split circuit to a light trifurcation circuit. In addition, wavelength monitoring with high accuracy is possible while improving the resistance to noise. The extraction of the light output proportional to only the input optical signal is performed by a light split circuit for input light at the top stage of the wavelength monitoring circuit or a light split circuit for interference in a stage in the middle of the circuit. The changed light split circuit causes the MZI included in the wavelength monitoring circuit to operate in a state of losing the balance of the configuration or the optical signal level, and increases the signal level near the bottom portion of the transmission characteristics.

    Abstract: In a data processing device, a fixed-point position control unit determines, as first control. The fixed-point position control unit causes a detection calculation unit to perform calculation processing on processing target data at a processing point in time. The saturation rate control unit instructs, as second control to be repeated by the fixed-point position control unit, the fixed-point position control unit to move at least the fixed-point position as control to increase a lower limit saturation rate proportional to a magnitude of a counted lower limit counter value with respect to a result of the first control. The fixed-point position control unit performs, as the second control, a predetermined determination on the basis of the instruction from the saturation rate control unit and the metadata, determines the fixed-point position moved for each layer, and causes calculation processing to be performed.
