摘要:
In a multi-mode interference waveguide (MMI) of a sheet shape spreading in the length direction and the width direction, the length of the multi-mode interference waveguide is set to such a length that the unique mode interferes in the length direction, thereby reducing the coupling loss when inputting/outputting the signal light. The multi-mode interference waveguide has a maximum refraction factor portion in the thickness direction and has such a refraction factor distribution that the refraction factor is reduced as departing from the maximum refraction factor portion. Thus, it is possible to suppress mode dispersion in the thickness direction of the multi-mode interference waveguide and obtain a high transmission rate in the order of 10 Gb/s.

摘要:
Methods of minimizing optical loss when combining signals from a plurality of laser sources. The method involves disposing a 2 × 1 Y-branch optical waveguide on a substrate, wherein the Y-branch consists of two converging input branches and a single output branch, each input branch being provided with an independent heating means proximate thereto. The method further comprises inputting an optical signal to one of the input branches and simultaneously inputting a second optical signal to the other of the branches, actuating one or both of the heaters, adjusting the degree of heating in each of the heaters in order to adjust the relative intensity of the introduced optical signals to achieve a desired ratio, and directing the resetting output signal into at least one optical fiber.
