description | A method of, and apparatus for, setting an operating (control) voltage of a voltage controllable optical component, such as a Mach-Zehnder optical modulator, having a periodic voltage/optical parameter (optical power) characteristic include an up/down counter and a digital to analog converter operable to set the voltage applied to the component to a predetermined initial value, a device for measuring the optical parameter, and another device for sequentially progressively increasing and decreasing the voltage (incrementing/decrementing the counter) with respect to the predetermined value, and for determining respective voltage values which produce maximum and minimum values of the optical parameter. The voltage is set to a value intermediate the maximum and minimum voltage values. Further, the apparatus determines the sense of the slope of that portion of the periodic characteristic lying between the maximum and minimum values for use by a control loop during subsequent operation of the optical component. |
