    Abstract: 本发明的目的是,通过在光学模块中安装信号光的光接收功率监测器的校正装置,利用较少资源快速且精确地将光接收功率的测量值校正成实际值。校正装置配备有校正表,当校正信号光的光接收功率的测量值时参考校正表,并且在这个校正表中,基于多个参考值和多个实际值之间的对应关系,预先存储多个校正值。在校正表中,相比于其中实际值的变化相对于测量值的变化大的区间,对于其中实际值的变化相对于测量值的变化小的区间,来使得参考值之间的间隔更小并且存储更多的校正值。当指示信号光的光接收功率的测量值的输入值匹配校正表中的参考值时,校正装置从校正表读取与参考值对应的校正值。当输入值不匹配校正表中的参考值时,校正装置根据基于输入值的预定计算公式来计算校正值。

    Abstract: A compensating current is applied at one or more points in a signal processing path to compensate for one or both of a dark or offset current present in an input signal. In certain implementations, the dark or offset current is present in a signal generated by a photomultiplier device. The dark or offset current may be monitored in an output of the signal processing path and, the monitoring being used to determine how much compensation is needed in the signal processing path and to allocate where in the signal processing path the compensation current will be applied.

    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to quickly and precisely correct the measured value for light reception power to the actual value with few resources, by installing a correction device for a light reception power monitor for signal light in an optical module. The correction device is equipped with a correction table which is referenced when correcting the measured value for the light reception power of signal light, and in this correction table multiple correction values are stored in advance on the basis of the correspondence relationships between multiple reference values and multiple actual values. In the correction table, for segments wherein the change in the actual values with respect to the change in the measured values is small, the interval between the reference values is made smaller and more correction values are stored than for segments wherein the change in the actual values with respect to the change in the measured values is large. When an input value indicating the measured value for the light reception power of the signal light matches a reference value in the correction table, the correction device reads from the correction table the correction value corresponding to the reference value. When an input value does not match a reference value in the correction table, the correction device calculates a correction value in accordance with a prescribed calculation formula on the basis of the input value.
