摘要:
Disclosed is a semiconductor optical integrated device and method of fabricating the device, the device having a plurality of quantum well structures, formed on a single substrate, acting as optical waveguides, the plurality of quantum well structures respectively having different lattice mismatches with the substrate and/or different strains (e.g., respectively compressive strain and tensile strain). The method includes selectively depositing the quantum well structures by, e.g., organometallic vapor phase epitaxy on growth regions of the substrate, the growth regions being defined by insulating layer patterning masks, with a width of the growth regions and/or a width of the patterning mask being different for the different quantum well structures. Each quantum well structure includes quantum well layers of III-V or II-VI compound semiconductor material, the Group III or Group II elements each including at least two elements, one having a relatively large atomic diameter and another having a relatively small atomic diameter. Also disclosed is a light receiver that can independently absorb TE-mode and TM-mode light in series, which can be used in a polarized-wave diversity receiver for coherent optical communication.

This invention provides an optical transmitter module and an optical module using an EA modulator capable of realizing stable ACER regardless of operating temperature without using a control mechanism for maintaining temperature of the EA modulator constant. In the EA modulator, optical waveguides formed of a multi-layered film are formed on a substrate, an electrical signal is applied to the optical waveguides in a direction vertical to the substrate, and the input light absorption amount is changed to control the amount of output light. Also, a plurality of p-side electrodes electrically separated from each other for applying an electrical signal to the active layer optical waveguides are arranged on optical axes of active layer optical waveguides. The length of optical waveguides to which the electrical signal is applied is changed by controlling the number of p-side electrodes to which the electrical signal is applied in accordance with temperature.
