    摘要: A surface emitting laser is provided which requires a smaller number of components, and which can reduce the cost. A surface emitting laser includes a cavity constituted by a first reflecting mirror (101) and a second reflecting mirror (102), and having a resonant wavelength that is changed by changing a cavity length with movement (106) of the first reflecting mirror (101) in a direction facing the second reflecting mirror. The surface emitting laser further includes an active layer (105) arranged in the cavity and emitting light, a third reflecting mirror (103) arranged on the opposite side of the active layer (105) with respect to the second reflecting mirror (102), and a light receiving element (104) arranged to receive light passing through the third reflecting mirror. The wavelength sweeping VCSEL may comprise a first DBR (101) on a deformable support (303) which is in turn supported by a further support (302). The active layer (105) may be a MQW on a second DBR (102) on a substrate (107) having a hole for back-side emission for the radiation to be detected by a photodiode (104). The detected radiation is frequency filtered by a Fabry-Perot resulting from the second DBR (102) and a low reflectivity third reflector (103) realized by the interface between the uncoated lower surface of a quartz substrate (103) and air. Anti-reflective coatings (301,306) on the other outer surfaces prevent undesired further Fabry-Perot resonators. Choosing the FSR of this Fabry-Perot correspondingly, a clock signal for OCT applications can be derived from the Fabry-Perot filtered and detected back-side emission of the VCSEL.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of improving the performance of optical receivers within optical transceivers by compensating for crosstalk, both optical and electrical. Optical crosstalk may arise within the optical receiver from a variety of sources including directly from the optical emitter within, indirectly from the optical emitter via losses, and losses of other received wavelengths within the optical transceiver coupled to the optical receiver. Electrical crosstalk may arise for example between the electrical transmission lines of the optical transmitter and optical receiver. The method comprises providing a secondary optical receiver in predetermined location to the primary optical receiver, the optical receivers being electrically coupled such that the crosstalk induced photocurrent in the secondary optical receiver is subtracted from the photocurrent within the primary optical receiver. The method may be applicable to either monolithic and hybrid optical transceivers.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an optical device includes the steps of: forming a first multilayer film, including forming a first mirror (102) above a substrate (101), forming an active layer (103) above the first mirror (102), forming a second mirror (104) above the active layer (103), forming a semiconductor layer (122) on the second mirror (104), and forming a sacrificial layer on the semiconductor layer (122); conducting a first examination step of conducting a reflectance examination on the first multilayer film; forming a second multilayer film by removing the sacrificial layer from the first multilayer film; conducting a second examination step of conducting a reflectance examination on the second multilayer film; and patterning the second multilayer film to form a surface-emitting laser section (140) having the first mirror (102), the active layer (103) and the second mirror (104), and a diode section (120) having the semiconductor layer (122), wherein the sacrificial layer is formed to have an optical film thickness of an odd multiple of λ / 4, where λ is a design wavelength of light emitted by the surface-emitting laser section (140).

    摘要: A monolithically formed laser and photodiode. The monolithically formed laser and photodiode includes a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) that includes a first PN junction. The first PN junction includes a first p layer and a first n layer. A tunnel diode is connected to the VCSEL both physically and electronically through a wafer fabrication process. A photodiode is connected to the tunnel diode. The photodiode is connected to the tunnel diode by physical and electronic connections. The tunnel diode and photodiode may share some common layers. The tunnel diode includes a second PN junction. The monolithically formed laser and photodiode allow for an integrated structure with diode biasing flexibility including the use of a single supply to bias both the laser and photodiodes.
