Method of monitoring wavelength of optical signal output from light emitting element and optical signal monitoring circuit
Abstract:
An optical signal monitor circuit includes a PD which directly detects an optical signal and converts the optical signal into a photocurrent, and another PD which detects the optical signal and converts the optical signal into a photocurrent. A resistance element converts the photocurrents into voltages for input to an operational amplifier which outputs voltages based on the voltages generated by the resistance element. A switching control circuit switches a connection between the PDs and the resistance element, and a calculation circuit acquires the output of the operational amplifier converted to digital signals such that the switching control circuit controls switching to cause the two photocurrents to flow into the resistance element at individual timings and to cause the two photocurrents to flow into the resistance element at the same timing, and the calculation circuit calculates a corrected digital signal by subtracting with the obtained digital signals.
