Abstract: Individual channels of a multiplexed laser array in a multi-channel optical transmitter are monitored at an output of an optical multiplexer. The monitoring may be used to confirm proper operation of each of the channels in the multiplexed laser array and/or to perform wavelength locking on each of the channels. Monitoring at the output of the optical multiplexer avoids the use of multiple photodetectors coupled directly to multiple lasers in the multiplexed laser array. The multiplexed laser array generally includes a plurality of laser emitters optically coupled to an optical multiplexer such as an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG). An optical transmitter with a monitored multiplexed laser array may be used, for example, in an optical line terminal (OLT) in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) passive optical network (PON) or in any other type of WDM optical communication system capable of transmitting optical signals on multiple channel wavelengths.

Abstract: An optical coupling element, for coupling a light emitting element to a light transmission element, includes a light guide element. The light guide element has a light incident part, a total reflection surface and a light output part. The light incident path is formed at the light incident part corresponding to the light emitting element. The light reflection path is formed at the light output part corresponding to the light transmission element. The first included angle θ1 is formed between the light incident path and the total reflection surface and is not equal to 45 degrees. The light emitting element is adapted to emit a beam toward the total reflection surface along the light incident path by passing through the light guide element from the light incident part.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser diode with integrated heating generally includes a lasing region and a heating region integrated into the same semiconductor structure or chip. The lasing region and the heating region include first and second portions, respectively, of the semiconductor layers forming the semiconductor structure and include first and second portions, respectively, of the active regions formed by the semiconductor layers. Separate laser and heater electrodes are electrically connected to the respective lasing and heating regions for driving the respective lasing and heating regions with drive currents. The heating region may thus be driven independently from the lasing region, and heat may be conducted through the semiconductor layers from the heating region to the lasing region allowing the temperature to be controlled more efficiently.
