Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the accuracy of modulation degree by converting an optical signal into an electric signal and using a mean value detector, a low pass filter, a peak detector and a differential amplifier so as to obtain the modulation degree from an output signal of the differential amplifier. CONSTITUTION:A mean value detector 3 detects the mean value X/2 of an output waveform of a current/voltage transducer 2. However, the duty ratio of a main signal is supposed to be 50%. Moreover, a low pass filter 4 and a peak detector 5 form an envelope detection circuit and the filter 4 extracts a sub signal component and the peak detector 5 detects a peak value to detect an amplitude Y of the sub signal. Thus, a differential amplifier 6 compares the value X/2 with the amplitude Y and the modulation degree is outputted as an electric signal.
