Abstract: An optical splitter/coupler has: a multimode waveguide having an electrooptic effect, and propagating light in a multimode; one incident waveguide propagating light in a single mode, and inputting the light to the multimode waveguide; one pair of emitting waveguides guiding-out, in a single mode, lights which have propagated-in through the multimode waveguide; at least one pair of individual electrodes provided so as to be positioned in vicinities of respective side edges on one surface of the multimode waveguide; and a ground electrode provided on another surface, wherein the multimode waveguide has a length such that 3(n+1) bright spots arise at a central portion and at both side edge portions due to incident light, the individual electrodes are provided at positions corresponding to an upstream-most one pair of the bright spots, and the emitting waveguides are connected to positions corresponding to a downstream-most one pair of the bright spots.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wafer scale process for the manufacture of optical waveguide devices, and particularly for the manufacture of ridge waveguide devices, and the improved waveguides made thereby. The present invention has found a process for achieving sub-micron control of an optical waveguiding layer thickness by providing a dimensionally stable wafer assembly into which adhesive can be introduced without altering the planar relationship between a carrier wafer and an optically transmissive wafer in wafer scale manufacture. This process permits wafer scale manufacture of optical waveguide devices including thin optically transmissive layers. A pattern of spacer pedestals is created by a deposition and etch back, or by a surface etch process to precisely reference surface information from a master surface to a carrier wafer to a thin optically transmissive wafer. The tolerance achievable in accordance with this process provides consistent yield across the wafer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a tunable wavelength optical transmission module, the wavelength of which can be tuned over the wide wavelength region of a C band and which can be implemented at a low price and, thus, can be applied to an optical network terminal. Bragg gratings having different grating periods are arranged in parallel or series and the temperatures of Bragg grating regions are then controlled, so that the wavelength of an optical signal can be tuned over a wide wavelength range through the small variation in temperature.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method including a semiconductor substrate including a waveguide having a guiding region and one or more bounding regions coupled to the guiding region; a first PN junction disposed in the substrate and coupled to one or more of the one or more bounding regions; and dopant atoms disposed within the semiconductor substrate at the PN junction.
