Abstract
【解決手段】自己増倍作用を有する第1の受光領域と、自己増倍作用を有しない第2の受光領域をもつAPD10で信号光を受光する。第1の受光領域で受光した第1の信号(Is+Ino)と第2の受光領域で受光したモニタ信号Imを分離する回路12,13と、第2の受光領域で受光したモニタ信号Imに所定の利得Gを与え、第1の受光領域で受光した第1の信号(Is+Ino)と所定の利得が与えられた第2の信号(G×Im)の差を取出し、その差がゼロになるようにAPD10に印加されるバイアス電圧を制御する。
【選択図】図4
Description
また、第2の受光領域で受光したモニタ信号のみを取出す回路を別に設け、モニタ信号の強度に応じて、このモニタ信号に与える所定の利得を変える。
また、温度依存性の小さいモニタ信号を、他に光学素子を用いることなく、かつ、APDの信号光の一部から得ることができるので、構成が簡単で均一な性能の光受信装置を得ることができる。
