摘要： A grating optical switch has at least one switch region for ON-OFF switch control of a signal light transmission and a signal light reflection, at least one input/output optical waveguide region for guiding the signal light to the switch, at least one coupler region for coupling the control light colinearly to the signal light and for guiding the control light to the switch region together with the signal light, and at least one separator region for separating the signal light and the control light. The switch region transmits the signal light when the control light is coupled while reflecting the signal light when the control light is not coupled.

摘要： An optical switch having a plurality of channel waveguides. At least one of which is a gain-guided channel waveguide. In operation, a light beam incident on one end face of the optical switch through one of the channel waveguides exits from the switch through one or another of the channel waveguides in accordance with current injected into the gain-guided channel waveguide. As a result, a compact low-voltage optical switch is possible. The channel waveguides may run parallel to each other, or may come together in a center portion in a X-shape, separated by a relatively small distance, or as a third alternative may be formed in a Y-shape, with a small distance separating the branches of said Y-shape.

摘要： Embodiments include a method and associated apparatuses for phase-shifting an optical signal. The method comprises receiving, at a first end of an optical waveguide formed in a semiconductor layer and extending along a first axis, an optical signal having a first phase. The method further comprises transmitting, at a second end of the optical waveguide opposite the first end, a modified optical signal having a second phase different than the first phase. Transmitting a modified optical signal comprises applying a voltage signal between a first contact region and a second contact region formed in the semiconductor layer apart from the first axis. Applying a voltage signal causes an electrical current to be conducted along a dimension of the optical waveguide. The electrical current causes resistive heating of the optical waveguide and a desired phase shift between the first phase and the second phase.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a semiconductor optical modulator includes forming a p-type semiconductor layer on a main surface of a p-type semiconductor substrate; forming a pair of stripe-shaped masks on the p-type semiconductor layer, the stripe-shaped masks extending in a first direction along the main surface of the p-type semiconductor substrate and being spaced apart from each other; simultaneously forming a hole and a pair of stripe structures extending in the first direction by etching the p-type semiconductor layer through the stripe-shaped masks, the pair of stripe structures defining the hole; after removing the stripe-shaped masks, forming a buried layer in the hole; forming a core layer on the buried layer and the stripe structures; and forming an upper cladding layer on the core layer. The buried layer is made of a semiconductor material with a lower optical absorption loss than that of the p-type semiconductor layer.
