Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical reception circuit in which a voltage applied to a light receiving element is unchanged even when a light receiving level is changed. SOLUTION: An optical signal received by a light receiving element 1 is converted into a current and the DC component flows to ground through an inductor 5. An AC signal component passes through a capacitor 2 and is inputted to a preamplifier 3, in which the signal component is amplified and outputted. Even when the light receiving level is changed, since the voltage drop of the inductor 5 is small, a voltage nearly equal to the power supply voltage is applied across the light receiving element 1. Therefore, the minimum voltage required to operate the light receiving element 1 becomes to the power supply voltage. Since a voltage across the light receiving element 1 is unchanged even when the light receiving level is changed by applying a voltage minimizing the distortion as the power supply voltage, the voltage applied to the light receiving element 1 is a voltage causing a minimum distortion at all times.

Next, the operation of the conventional example having the above configuration will be described. When an optical signal is input to the light receiving element 1, it is converted into a current. This current contains signals that are a direct current component and an alternating current component. In order to input only the AC component signal to the preamplifier 3, the DC component is cut through the capacitor 2 having a sufficiently low impedance in the signal frequency band. The DC component flows to the ground through the resistor 4.

However, in the optical receiving circuit having the above-described structure, when the level of the input optical signal increases, the current flowing through the light receiving element 1 increases, and as a result, the current flowing through the resistor 4 also increases. As a result, the voltage drop across the resistor 4 increases, and when the power supply voltage is constant, the voltage applied across the light receiving element 1 decreases. Conversely, when the input level of the optical signal decreases, the voltage applied to the light receiving element 1 increases. Therefore, the power supply voltage must be a voltage at which a sufficient voltage is applied to the light receiving element 1 even when the light receiving level becomes high. Further, even when the light receiving level becomes low and the voltage applied to the light receiving element 1 becomes high, it is necessary to prevent the applied voltage of the light receiving element from exceeding the rated value. Therefore, the range of change in the light reception level is limited.

Further, the distortion generated in the light receiving element 1 depends on the voltage applied to the light receiving element 1, and there is a voltage at which the distortion is minimized. Even if the power supply voltage is determined so that the distortion is minimized at a certain received light level, if the received light level changes,
There is a problem in that the voltage deviates from the optimum voltage and distortion increases.

Since the voltage drop in the inductor 5 is small even if the light receiving level changes, the power supply voltage is applied to both ends of the light receiving element 1 as it is. Therefore, the minimum voltage required for the operation of the light receiving element 1 can be the power supply voltage.
If the voltage with the minimum distortion is set as the power supply voltage, the voltage across the light receiving element 1 does not change even if the light receiving level changes. Therefore, the voltage applied to the light receiving element 1 is always the voltage with the minimum distortion. It remains.
