摘要:
A WDM optical transmitter using a wideband gain laser comprises a plurality of wideband gain lasers and a wavelength division multiplexer. Each wideband gain laser includes a gain medium with a 3 dB bandwidth of 40 nm or more at a threshold current, and it amplifies corresponding incoherent light injected into the gain medium and outputs a corresponding channel. The multiplexer multiplexes channels, outputted from the wideband gain lasers, into an optical signal in a WDM scheme and outputs the multiplexed optical signal.

A method for maintaining the mode-locked state of a Fabry-Perot (FP) laser and a WDM light source using the same method for use in WDM optical communication are disclosed. The mode-locked state can be maintained irrespective of temperature change, without use of a temperature controller, by spectrum-slicing the incoherent light generated by a light source element and injecting the spectrum-sliced light to the FP laser, then the FP laser amplifies and outputs only a lasing mode coinciding with the wavelength of the injected light, wherein a lasing-mode interval of the FP laser is set to be less than a 3 dB linewidth of the injected light, so that at least one lasing mode exists inside the 3 dB linewidth of the injected light irrespective of changes in external temperature.

A phase shifter includes an optical waveguide, a plurality of impurity regions and a plurality of electrodes. The optical waveguide receives an optical input signal and outputs an optical output signal. The impurity regions include respective charge carriers. The impurity regions are disposed in contact with the optical waveguide at respective contact surface, where at least one of the contact surfaces has a zigzag pattern. The electrodes are connected to the respective impurity regions. Application of an electrical signal to at least one of the electrodes phase-shifts the optical output signal with respect to the optical input signal. Therefore, the phase shifter may efficiently vary a magnitude of the phase shift of the optical output signal.

A reflective semiconductor optical amplifier light source is disclosed. The reflective semiconductor optical amplifier light source includes a transmissive type semiconductor optical amplifier for creating and amplifying spontaneous emission light, a reflector for reflecting amplified spontaneous emission light outputted from the semiconductor optical amplifier such that amplified spontaneous emission light is reflected back into the semiconductor optical amplifier, and a bandpass filter having a predetermined wavelength band width for limiting wavelength bands of the amplified spontaneous emission light capable of passing through the bandpass filter. In one aspect of the invention, the bandpass filter is interposed between the semiconductor optical amplifier and the reflector. In another aspect, a polarization filter is imposed to limit the reflected emission light to a predetermined polarization.

An optical transmitter module for creating an optical signal having the same wavelength as an incoherent light inputted thereinto is provided. The module includes a substrate, a multi-layer crystal growth layer including a first area for amplifying the incoherent light and the optical signal and a second area for creating an optical signal having the same wavelength as the incoherent light amplified by means of the first area, and an electrode unit for independently injecting currents into the areas of the multi-layer crystal growth layer. A light generated at a broadband light source is spectrum-sliced and injected into the optical transmitter module so that a wavelength division multiplexing light source is realised.

A bi-directional WDM communication system of the type having central and local offices, and subscribers is provided. The central office includes downstream Bragg reflector lasers for generating downstream channels of different wavelengths, each channel being wavelength-locked to a corresponding incoherent light beam. The central office multiplexes the downstream channels into a downstream optical signal, demultiplexes an upstream optical signal into upstream channels of different wavelengths, and detects the upstream channels. The local office demultiplexes a downstream optical signal into downstream channels, multiplexes upstream channels of different wavelengths into an upstream optical signal, outputs it to the central office, and demultiplexes a broadband light beam into incoherent light beams of different wavelengths. Each subscriber receives the corresponding downstream channel and incoherent light beam, includes an upstream Bragg reflector laser for generating an upstream channel wavelength-locked to the received incoherent light beam, and outputs the upstream channel to the local office.

An apparatus and method for downloading a picture from a picture server at the time of reviewing the picture in a mobile communication terminal. The mobile communication terminal receives at least one picture page of a first screen for a picture-review operating mode from the picture server and displays the received picture page. The mobile communication terminal determines whether a prefetch function has been set to download a preset number of picture pages. If the prefetch function has been set, the mobile communication terminal carries out a prefetch operation for downloading in advance, from the picture server, a next picture page that a user can view in a forward direction.
