摘要: An optical modulator element includes a rib optical waveguide, a first thin film, a first high-concentration doped region, and a first metal electrode. The rib optical waveguide includes a rib portion having a PN junction, a P-type slab region connected to a P-type region of the rib portion, and an N-type slab region connected to an N-type region of the rib portion. The first thin film is formed on the P-type slab region and has electron affinity different from electron affinity of a material for the P-type slab region. The first high-concentration doped region is a region in the P-type slab region, the region being at a position separate from the rib portion. The first metal electrode is electrically connected to the first high-concentration doped region positioned outward in the P-type slab region having the first thin film formed over the P-type slab region.

摘要: A tap coupler includes a mode generation unit, a separation unit, and an output unit. The mode generation unit generates, in accordance with a discontinuous portion disposed on a travelling path of signal light that is propagating, a first mode of the signal light and a second mode that is different from the first mode. The separation unit separates, when the first mode and the second mode are input from the mode generation unit, the first mode and the second mode. The output unit outputs branch light in accordance with a transition of the second mode received from the separation unit.

摘要: An optical device includes a first layer, a second layer, two first waveguides arranged in a side by side manner in the first layer; two second waveguides arranged in a side by side manner in the second layer, and a third waveguide arranged between the first waveguides and between the second waveguides. The first waveguide includes a first tapered waveguide and a second tapered waveguide. The third waveguide includes a third tapered waveguide that is disposed side by side with the second tapered waveguides. The first tapered waveguide has a width that is gradually narrower as the first tapered waveguide is away from a joining point with the second tapered waveguide. The second tapered waveguide has a width that is gradually narrower as the second tapered waveguide is away from a joining point with the first tapered waveguide. The third tapered waveguide has a width that is gradually wider.

摘要: An optical amplifier includes a first path and a second path, and an amplification unit that is arranged on one of the first path and the second path. The amplifier includes a first switch that is arranged on an input stage of the amplification unit, and that switches a third path that connects between the first path and the amplification unit or a fourth path that connects between the second path and the amplification unit. The amplifier includes a second switch that is arranged on an output stage of the amplification unit and that switches a fifth path that connects between the first path and the amplification unit or a sixth path that connects between the second path and the amplification unit. The first switch switches the third path over to the fourth path, and the second switch switches the fifth path to the sixth path.

摘要: An optical device includes a generator, a light emitter, a modulator, an optical amplifier, a current source, a storage, and a controller. The generator generates an electric signal of a multilevel amplitude modulation method. The light emitter emits laser light. The modulator modulates the laser light using the electric signal and outputs an optical signal. The optical amplifier optically amplifies the modulated optical signal according to a drive current. The current source adjusts the drive current to be supplied to the optical amplifier. The storage previously stores an information with respect to input-output characteristics of the optical signal in the optical amplifier relative to drive current value of the drive current. The controller acquires, from the storage, the input-output characteristics corresponding to the drive current value of the drive current supplied to the optical amplifier and controls the electric signal based on the acquired input-output characteristics.

摘要: An optical modulator includes a first shifter and a second shifter. The first shifter includes a first waveguide through which first light passes, and a first electrode that causes power according to a drive voltage to act on the first waveguide. The first shifter shifts a phase of the first light passing through the first waveguide in accordance with the drive voltage applied to the first electrode. The second shifter includes a second waveguide through which second light passes, and a second electrode that causes power according to a drive voltage to act on the second waveguide. The second shifter shifts a phase of the second light passing through the second waveguide in accordance with the drive voltage applied to the second electrode. The second shifter is constituted to have a smaller amount of phase shift according to a predetermined amount of drive voltage than the first shifter.
