Publication number: 20130315537Abstract: An optical multiplexing/demultiplexing device comprise a plurality of propagation waveguides comprising an input waveguide capable of receiving input light and an output waveguide outputting light of a given wavelength among the wavelengths included in the input light and resonance waveguide that is an optical waveguide provided between adjoining waveguides and extends in a longitudinal direction in which both the adjoining waveguides extend, wherein the adjoining waveguides are an adjoining pair among the propagation waveguides. The distance between the resonance waveguide and each of the adjoining waveguides of the resonance waveguide and a length in the longitudinal direction of the resonance waveguide are set so as to form a transition part, wherein when a light comprising a transition wavelength set to the transition part passes through the transition part of one of the adjoining waveguides, the light of the transition wavelength component shifts to the other adjoining propagation waveguide.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2012Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Tadashi MURAO, Keita Mochizuki, Satoshi Shirai, Nobuyuki Yasui

Publication number: 20130302042Abstract: An optical receiver is provided with a photoelectric converter that outputs an electrical signal according to light that is received by a light-receiving region. The optical receiver is provided with a condensing lens and optical filter that are located in an optical path from where signal light enters towards the light-receiving region. The condensing lens condenses the signal light onto the light-receiving region. The optical filter reflects light having a first wavelength that is included in the signal light using a front surface thereof and reflects light having a second wavelength that is included in the signal light using a rear surface thereof that faces the front surface so that the light is emitted through the front surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2012Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Nobuo Ohata, Mizuki Shirao, Keita Mochizuki

Publication number: 20130256516Abstract: To make miniaturization of a laser module easier. In the laser block of a laser module, multiple semiconductor laser elements that each emit a beam of laser light are disposed. A collimating lens receives and collimates the individual beams of laser light emitted from the laser block, and emits collimated light. Photodiodes detect the individual beams of collimated light emitted from the collimating lens, and output signals corresponding to the intensities of the individual beams of collimated light. Additionally, the photodiodes are disposed on the propagation paths of collimated light emitted from the collimating lens, and in addition, are disposed at positions that receive a portion of collimated light for all the individual beams of collimated light which are emitted.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2013Publication date: October 3, 2013Inventor: Keita MOCHIZUKI
