Inventor: ANDERSSON LARS
IPC: H01S3/00
Filed: 2000-02-15
Abstract: A method of evaluating a tuneable laser and determining suitable laser operation points, wherein the laser includes two or more tuneable sections i n which injected current can be varied, said sections including at least one reflector section and one phase section. The invention is characterised by varying the current injected through the reflector section, i.e. the reflect or current, at different constant currents injected through respective remainin g tuneable sections; measuring the laser power output at the front or the rear  mirror of the laser; sweeping the reflector current in one direction and the n in the opposite direction back to its starting value while measuring and storing the power; calculating the power difference with one and the same reflector current, but in said different sweep directions; and detecting and  storing as hysteresis-free current combinations those combinations which giv e rise to a power difference that falls below a predetermined level.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a gateway (N1) for transmitting data from a first router (R1) to a second router (R2) via an external communications network (ATM), which makes it possible to couple notably local networks (LAN1, LAN2) connected to these routers. The first router (R1) is connected to the communications network (ATM) via a gateway (N1) which, among other things, is used for conversion between a transmission protocol used by the first router (R1) and a transmission protocol used by the communications network (ATM). The first router assigns to the data a hardware address (MAC2) which identifies the second router (R2) and constitutes a target address. In the gateway (N1) a network address (ATM2) which identifies an output point (N2) from the communications network is assigned to this target address. On the basis of this network address the data are transmitted to the output point (N2) of the communications network and from there to the second router (R2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug type connector, and more particularly to a plug type connector having a locking function of, when the connector is connected to a counter connector, coupling the connector to the counter connector. In the case where a locking member is formed by a slender locking piece 30 configured by a synthetic resin molded product, the operation load which is required for flexurally deforming the locking piece 30 can be increasingly or decreasingly adjusted.     The plug type connector A of the invention comprises contact portions 20, the locking piece 30, a press operating member 50, and a backup member 60. The backup member 60 has a function of adjusting the level of the operation load of the locking piece 30. In another invention, even when the locking member is made of a metal, the enclosure of the counter connector is not shaved by a prying force applied on the counter connector, and hence the stability of the locked state can be enhanced. In the invention, a locking member 80 of the plug type connector A is produced by bending a metal wire rod having a circular section shape.
