  • Patent number: 8971725
    Abstract: An optical communication module includes a laser that emits laser light, and an electro-absorber that absorbs the laser light, which is emitted from the laser, according to a voltage modulated based on a modulating signal and a bias voltage. The optical communication module detects data that varies correlatively with the temperature of the electro-absorber, and sets the bias voltage, which is associated with the detected data, on the basis of relational data specifying at least the relationship between the bias voltage and the data.

  • Patent number: 8218973
    Abstract: Provided are an optical transmitter device and an optical transmitter module which are capable of reducing the optical transmitter module size while maintaining a state where an excellent optical transmission waveform quality is obtained over a wide range of frequencies. The optical transmission module (2) includes a semiconductor laser diode device (10), an optical modulator device (12), and a first termination resistor circuit (14-1). A printed circuit board (4) includes a driver IC (16) and a second termination resistor circuit (14-2). A lower cutoff frequency of the first termination resistor circuit (14-1) and an upper cutoff frequency of the second termination resistor circuit (14-2) correspond to each other. An impedance of the first termination resistor circuit (14-1) in a pass frequency band thereof and an impedance of the second termination resistor circuit (14-2) in a pass frequency band thereof correspond to each other.

  • Patent number: 7766679
    Abstract: There is provided a pluggable module having grooves, on lateral faces, for latching with a cage and engaging portions for detachment, wherein the module body is detached from the cage by using a module detaching unit which is inserted along the grooves and which locks the engaging portions of the module body in the length direction. Further, there is provided a detaching jig including: latch release portions which are inserted between the pluggable module and the cage; lock portions which allow the pluggable module to be locked in the detaching direction; and a handle portion for detaching the pluggable module from the cage.
