The resonant wavelength controller includes a fixed mirror layer, a movable mirror layer, and an air layer disposed therebetween. The resonant wavelength can be adjusted by varying an optical length between the movable mirror layer and the fixed mirror layer. The optical length can be adjusted by varying the thickness of the air layer between the movable mirror layer and the fixed mirror layer by way of adjusting the electrostatic force.

A metal/semiconductor junction Schottky diode optical device using a distortion grown layer is described. A plurality of GaAs mirror and AlAs mirror layers are periodically grown on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. An n+ or p+ semiconductor layer is formed on the GaAs mirror and AlAs mirror layers. A GaAs buffer layer is formed on the semiconductor layer to grow a Schottky metal layer serving as an electrode and a mirror. A multiple quantum well structure having an electro-optical absorption characteristic is positioned between the semiconductor layer and Schottky metal layer, for constructing a diode with the metal layer/multiple quantum well structure. At least a part of the mirror layers and diode are formed with a layer in order to have resonance and non-resonance conditions between the metal layer and mirror layers. The substrate on which the diode is formed has an opposite side formed with an optical non-reflective layer.
