Patent EP-0709938-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NISHIWAKI SEIJI
IPC: G11B7/12
Filed: 1995-10-30
Abstract: A waveguide layer is formed on a transparent substrate disposed to cross an optical axis perpendicularly, and on the waveguide layer, a concentric circular grating coupler is disposed so that the optical axis passes the center. A light beam radiated from a semiconductor laser passes through the transparent substrate and enters the waveguide layer. Light beams enter the respective positions of the grating coupler are excited and move from the periphery to the center, and the light beams pass through the center and become waveguide light beams. The waveguide light beam is the reverse wave of the waveguide light beam inputted at the transmittance position. Therefore, the radiant beam radiated from the grating coupler also becomes a reverse wave inputted at the irradiating position, and is accurately fed back to the semiconductor laser. The laser wavelength is locked since the radiant beam has wavelength selectivity.

Inventor: DUTTWEILER DONALD LARS
IPC: H03H21/00

Abstract: Acoustic echos are canceled by employing a first echo canceler having a comparatively short first impulse response synthesis capability which is connected between a transmit path and receive path for generating a first error signal and for canceling echo signals in the transmit path, and at least a second echo canceler having a comparatively long second impulse response synthesis capability connected in parallel with the first echo canceler between the transmit and the receive path. The second echo canceler is supplied with the first error signal from the first echo canceler and is adaptively operating simultaneously with but independent of the first echo canceler to further cancel echos in the transmit path. More specifically, the first echo canceler is intended to capture the direct path acoustic echo and any early arriving echos that are stable which are not time varying. Since the direct path acoustic echo and the stable early arriving echos are not time varying, the adaptive adaptation rate, i.e. loop gain, of the first echo canceler adaptation circuitry can be chosen to be a very small value so that it can adapt accurately in the presence of undetected near-end speech. Then, with the direct path acoustic echo and any stable early arriving echos having been substantially removed by the first echo canceler, the first error signal output from the first echo canceler has a comparatively weaker echo component to corrupt any near-end speech that might be present and, consequently, the near-end speech can be more reliably detected by monitoring the first error signal from the first echo canceler. Since the near-end speech can be more reliably detected by employing the first error signal from the first echo canceler, the adaptation rate of the second echo canceler can be chosen to be at a significantly faster rate without undo impairment caused by undetected near-end speech. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the first echo canceler employs a transversal filter having predetermined fixed coefficients in order to cancel the direct path acoustic echo component and any stable early arriving echos.
