Abstract:
1. An optical intensity determination unit comprising: an optical input port; an optical output port; an optical resonator provided between the optical input port and the optical output port; a first light receiving element for converting at least a part of an optical signal output from a first output port of the optical resonator into an electric signal; a second light receiving element for converting at least a part of an optical signal output from a second output port of the optical resonator into an electric signal; a comparing circuit for determining magnitudes of the electric signals output from the first light receiving element and the second light receiving element to output a digital signal; and an optical branching circuit for branching light output from the second output port of the optical resonator into the optical output port and the second light receiving element, wherein an optical intensity phase conversion unit for modulating an optical phase according to intensity of input light is provided in a part of a waveguide in the optical resonator.
