摘要:
The present invention relates to an optical filter having a waveguide structure constituted by a core region (12) in which a grating (16) for reflecting light of a predetermined wavelength is formed at a predetermined portion and a cladding region (14) which has a lower refractive index than the core region and covers the core region. In particular, this optical filter has a light-absorbing structure (140) for absorbing, of light to be reflected by the grating, a light component radiated from the grating to the cladding region. This light-absorbing structure is disposed, at least, at a region where the light component radiated from the grating to the cladding region reaches.
摘要:
The pulse laser light source apparatus in the OTDR apparatus of present invention comprises an optical waveguide which receives and guides the light emitted from the first light-emitting end face, wherein the optical waveguide comprises a reflecting area which selectively reflects a part of light emitted from a light-emitting end face of a semiconductor light-emitting device, a core of the reflecting area comprises a first diffraction grating which is disposed in a first area and whose refractive index periodically changes along an optical-axis direction, the first diffraction grating selectively reflects, of the light emitted from the light-emitting end face of the semiconductor light-emitting device, a part of the light within a first wavelength range. And the diffraction grating is one of denvices which constitute a laser resonator.
