  • Patent number: 11256050
    Abstract: An optical communication module includes a first power-supplied terminal to be brought into contact with a first power supply terminal to have a first power supply voltage applied thereto; a second power-supplied terminal to be brought into contact with the second power supply terminal to have a second power supply voltage applied thereto; a signal processing circuit, which is connected to the first power-supplied terminal and the second power-supplied terminal, configured to perform processing on a signal; and a power control circuit, which is provided between the first power-supplied terminal and the signal processing circuit, configured to control connection between the first power-supplied terminal and the signal processing circuit based on a voltage applied to the second power-supplied terminal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8275011
    Abstract: To detect a wavelength drift of laser light with no error, an optical transmission module (10) includes: a laser diode (20); a laser temperature calculation section (52) for detecting the temperature of the laser diode (20) that monotonously increases with respect to a wavelength of the laser light; a wavelength calculation section (44) for detecting a transmittance of the laser light incident on an etalon filter (36) whose transmittance periodically varies with respect to the wavelength of the incident light, and a laser wavelength corresponding to the transmittance; and a wavelength error obtaining section (54) for detecting a wavelength error (wavelength drift), from a target wavelength, of the laser light output from the laser diode (20), based on the temperature detected by the laser temperature calculation section (52) and the laser wavelength detected by the wavelength calculation section (44).
