The invention relates to gain calibration in a transceiver unit (100) having a transmitter unit and a receiver unit and a feed back coupling (165) between these. A signal level measurement unit (163) measures signal levels of a feedback signal through either the receiver unit or through a signal level detector (167). A reference signal level of the feedback signal is set by adjusting the transmitter until the signal level measurement unit (163) measures a predefined value when connected through the signal level detector (167). An absolute value of the transmitter gain is then calibrated. The signal level measurement unit (163) is connected through the receiver unit and the absolute gain of the receiver is calibrated. A gain is changed either in the receiver or the transmitter unit. The relative signal level change of the feedback signal is measured and used to calibrate the gain step.

The invention belongs to the photoelectronic technical field, characterized in that: it adopts electron beam exposure and dry-etching process to form a photon crystal double-waveguide structure on semiconductor, where the two ends of the photon crystal waveguide are connected with light guide connection light waveguides and it removes part of the sacrificial layer by wet etching process to form a bridge support structure. By reverse coupling action of the photon crystal double waveguide, the light of evenly symmetric transmission mode cross over frequency can be reversely coupled from straight-through waveguide into coupling waveguide so as to cause the transmission spectrum of the straight-through waveguide has obvious hollows. When the detected fluid fills periodical holes of photon crystal or upper and lower spaces of the photon crystal layer, dispersion characteristic of the transmission mode in the photon crystal double waveguide is changed, or changed by external force, which can cause variation of evenly symmetric transmission mode cross over frequency so as to cause variation of transmission spectrum of the straight-through waveguide, thus implementing microflow refractivity detection and sensing of high sensitivity and integrated photon crystal structure.

The invention discloses an add/drop filter based on an antisymmetric multimode Bragg waveguide grating. When TE light is input from a single-mode input waveguide, a drop asymmetric Y-branch waveguide converts the TE light into a TE fundamental mode of a multimode waveguide; the antisymmetric Bragg waveguide grating carries out back-coupling on the incident light meeting phase matching condition wavelength to form reflected light; the reflected light is converted into a TE mode of a drop single-mode waveguide when passing through the drop asymmetric Y-branch waveguide, and the TE mode is output from the drop end; transmission light passes through an add asymmetric Y-branch waveguide and is output from a single-mode output waveguide; similarly, add light is input from an add single-mode input waveguide; the add asymmetric Y-branch waveguide converts the add light into a TE first-order mode of the multimode waveguide; and the antisymmetric Bragg waveguide grating enables the reflected light meeting the phase matching condition wavelength to be converted into a TE mode of the single-mode output waveguide when the reflected light passes through the add asymmetric Y-branch waveguide, and the TE mode is output from the output end. The add/drop filter realizes signal adding/dropping function, and can be applied to an on-chip super-integrated optical interconnection system.

Apparatuses and methods are provided for driving an input conductor with a signal comprising a series of voltage pulses. The pulses can beneficially invoke the skin effect to generate a time-varying magnetic vector potential that projects radially from a surface of the input conductor. The time-varying magnetic vector potential can provide an electric field for inducing output voltage pulses in an output circuit. The input conductor and output circuit can have various configurations. For example, the input conductor can extend along a plane, and the output circuit can at least partially reside in the plane and extend away from the input conductor in the plane. Such a geometry can reduce any back coupling between the two circuits, e.g., between electromagnetic fields caused by any current in the two circuits. Such a geometry would not normally allow for induction between the two circuits, which can reduce any Lenz effects.
