Abstract
The present disclosure provides an optical transmitter/receiver which is easy to configure to use minimum power consumption. An optical transmitter/receiver which transmits and receives an optical signal in which information is encoded in a phase and a light intensity includes: an optical receiver having a light receiving element configured to receive the optical signal, in which a dependence of an amount of noise generated in the optical receiver in accordance with operating conditions of the optical receiver, photosensitivity of the light receiving element, and power consumption with respect to setting parameters is output to a control device of the optical transmitter/receiver.
Claims4
An optical transmitter/receiver which transmits and receives an optical signal in which information is encoded in a phase and a light intensity, comprising:
- an optical receiver having a light receiving element configured to receive the optical signal,
- wherein a dependence of an amount of noise generated in the optical receiver in accordance with operating conditions of the optical receiver, photosensitivity of the light receiving element, and power consumption with respect to setting parameters is output to a control device of the optical transmitter/receiver.
An optical transmitter/receiver which transmits and receives an optical signal in which information is encoded in a phase and a light intensity, comprising:
- an optical transmitter having a modulator configured to generate the optical signal,
- wherein an optical intensity according to a current input to the modulator, a signal-to-noise (SN) ratio of the optical transmitter, and the dependence of power consumption with respect to setting parameters are to a control device of the optical transmitter/receiver in accordance with operating conditions of the optical transmitter such as a power supply voltage, a gain, and a temperature.
