In a related-art air-conditioning apparatus, air is conditioned while an airflow direction or an airflow is directed to a position of a human body detected by a human body detection sensor, and hence the same air-stream control is performed for both of a person who feels comfortable and a person who feels hot. An air-conditioning apparatus according to the present invention can adjust an angle of an airflow-direction flap in accordance with a thermal sensation level, and hence air-stream control matching thermal sensation of a human body can be performed.

The present disclosure discloses a time division multiplexing closed loop feedback thermal control method and system, and the method is applicable to a system comprising k integrated photonic devices. The method comprises: acquiring, by a temperature control unit, refractive index information of an i-th integrated photonic device in a time division multiplexing manner, refractive indexes of the integrated photonic devices varying with temperature, 1ik; and adjusting, by the temperature control unit, a temperature of the i-th integrated photonic device when the refractive index of the i-th integrated photonic device is not equal to a desired value to control the refractive index of the i-th integrated photonic device to be maintained at the desired value. When the integrated chip includes multiple photonic devices, a temperature control unit is shared in a time division multiplexing manner, which reduces the overall power consumption of the system.
