  • Publication number: 20180180830
    Abstract: An optical module includes a substrate, a light emitting element, a light receiving element, and a block by which some of light emitted from the light emitting element is guided to the light receiving element. The block includes a collimating lens, an optical splitter, condensing lenses, a mirror, and a refraction part. The refraction part includes a surface at which a light beam transmitted by the optical splitter is guided to the condensing lens and a surface at which a light beam transmitted by the optical splitter is deflected from the condensing lens.

  • Patent number: 10007623
    Abstract: Provided are a data processor, and a control system, in which an interrupt controller and an event link controller are adopted. The event link controller responds to a generated event signal to output a start control signal for controlling start of an operation of a circuit module. The circuit module is able to generate an event signal. The event link controller generates the start control signal according to the correspondences between event signals and start control signals which are defined by event control information. The links between the event signals and start control signals can be prescribed by the event control information. Therefore, operations of circuit modules prescribed by such links can be controlled sequentially. The control neither involves save and return processes by CPU as in the interrupt processing, nor needs priority level control as executed on competing interrupt requests.

  • Publication number: 20170134099
    Abstract: An optical receiver module that receives a wavelength-multiplexed optical signal is disclosed. The optical receiver module includes a first lens, an optical de-multiplexer, second lenses, and photodiodes. The first lens forms a beam waist of the wavelength-multiplexed optical signal output therefrom. The optical de-multiplexer de-multiplexes the wavelength-multiplexed optical signal into optical signals depending on wavelengths thereof and is installed so as to make optical paths for respective optical signals different from each other. The second lenses concentrate the optical signals onto the respective photodiodes. In the optical receiver module, the beam waist of the wavelength-multiplexed optical signal is set in a halfway between a longest path and a shortest path from the first lens to the second lenses.

    Abstract: An optical module to receive Rx-light from a single optical fiber and to transmit Tx-light to the single optical fiber is disclosed. In the optical module, the Rx-light enters a photodiode (PD) in a shortest path within a coupling block that provides surfaces constituting the path, and the Tx-light emitted from a laser diode (LD) travels round within the coupling block and both of the Rx-light and the Tx-light enter the WDM filter in an acute angle. The lens to concentrate the Rx-light on the PD and that to collimate the Tx-light are precisely aligned with respective devices mounted on a printed circuit hoard (PCB).
