摘要:
An optical waveguide device expands the operable frequency range toward the higher frequency side. The device includes a single-mode optical resonator waveguide serving as an optical ring resonator, a single-mode optical input/output waveguide located close to the resonator waveguide in an area, and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer formed in such a way as to include a part of the resonator waveguide as its first optical waveguide arm and a part of the input/output waveguide as its second optical waveguide arm in the area. The interferometer has a first optical coupler for optically coupling the first and second waveguide arms with an input-side part of the input/output waveguide and a remaining part of the resonator waveguide due to multiple-mode optical interference, and a second optical coupler for optically coupling the first and second waveguide arms with an output-side part of the input/output waveguide and the remaining part of the resonator waveguide due to multiple-mode optical interference.

A semiconductor laser, optical module using a semiconductor laser, and optical communication system using a semiconductor laser. The semiconductor laser has an active layer between two semiconductor layers and different conduction types and current block layers surrounding the active layer. One of the semiconductor layers has a first growth layer and a second growth layer formed on the first growth layer by a re-growth process after a growth process for the first growth layer. The doping concentration of the first growth layer, in the region of the interface with the second growth layer, is in the range of between 1.5 to 5 times the doping concentration of the second growth layer.

It is an object to provide an adding technique for enabling additional information to be certainly decoded from an image to which two or more kinds of additional information was added to an input image so that it is difficult to discriminate by the human eyes. To accomplish this object, for example, a plurality of kinds of additional information is periodically added to the input image at different periods so that it is difficult to discriminate by the human eyes. The image to which those additional information was added is outputted to an image forming unit.
