Abstract: The invention is to provide an optical loss measuring method and an optical loss measuring apparatus capable of efficiently measuring an optical loss occurring to a target for measurement. The other optical loss measurement method comprising the steps of inputting light outputted from a light source to a target for measurement to thereby measure an output level of the target for measurement with the use of an optical power meter, maintaining the output level of the light source at a predetermined fixed value, and finding the optical loss occurring to the target for measurement on the basis of the output level of the light source maintained at the fixed value for use as the reference value.

Abstract: A high-speed demodulating method of burst data capable of performing demodulation process at high speed in a single hardware structure. An input signal digitally modulated is taken in into an input unit to be sampled and latched therein by a sampling clock from a controller, and a modulation signal from the input unit is taken in into either a first demodulator or a second demodulator for each one burst data depending on the timing of a first control signal or a second control signal output by the controller, respectively, and demodulated, and a first demodulation signal produced from the first demodulator or a second demodulation signal produced from the second demodulator is taken in into an output unit by a third control signal output by the controller, and in the output unit, the first demodulation signal or the second demodulation signal is latched by a latch signal of the controller and supplied as an output signal.
