Abstract
Description
発明者等は、フィードフォワード制御方式を上述したフィードバック制御方式とともに導入することで得られる利点を認識した。詳しくは、本発明では、本明細書に説明されるフィードバック制御手順の適用に先立ち、変換効率ピークのほぼ近傍にレーザ発振波長を合わせるように設計されたフィードフォワード方式の使用が考えられる。本発明のこの態様にしたがえば、利得電流IGの関数として半導体レーザのパラメータのフィードフォワード制御を実行するようにコントローラがプログラムされる。一般に、利得電流IGは、強度が変動するデータを搬送するから、時間の経過にともなって連続的に変化するであろう。この意図的なIGの変動により、波長選択区画の不随意な温度変動がおこり、この結果不随意な波長変動が生じる。この波長変動は、波長選択区画の温度Tλまたは波長選択区画に注入される電流Iλの大きさあるいはいずれをも利得電流IGの関数として制御することによって、フィードフォワード態様で少なくともある程度は補正することができる。例えば、フィードフォワード制御は、選択された利得電流IGを対応する温度TλまたはDBR制御信号値と相関させるルックアップテーブルを参照することによって、符号化データ信号に施すことができる。例えば、図4を参照すれば、一般に出力強度Iは利得電流IGを大きくするにしたがって大きくなるから、DBRレーザのDBRヒータに印加される最適DBR電圧VDBR'は最小値に向かって降下するであろう。したがって、対応する利得電流IGに関連付けられるDBR電圧(FF VDBR)のセットを確立するために、上述したルックアップテーブルまたはその他の手段を用いることができる。この態様において、フィードフォワード動作は、本明細書に説明されるフィードバック手法の内の1つの適用に先立って変換効率曲線のピークの近傍にレーザ発振波長制御信号を合わせるために、本発明で用いることができる。本発明のこの態様は、変換効率曲線が複雑で、最大効率ピークの近くに1つないしさらに多くの小ピークがある場合に、特に有用である。
