    摘要: The present invention relates to an optical filter whose a sidelobe disturbing a characteristic of an optical filter by weighting an optical coupling efficiency between waveguides is controlled upon applying a selective area growth method in a wavelength selective variable semiconductor optical filter and method of fabricating the same. The present invention can control the thickness of growth layer selectively by controlling the width of the dielectric thin film mask whose the growth is not achieved in the selective area growth method, can control the distance between two waveguides of the wavelength selective variable semiconductor optical filter by applying the result on the distance control between two waveguides. Accordingly, there can be changed an optical coupling efficiency between two waveguides spatially. Because the sidelobe characteristics is largely improved if the distance between two waveguides is controlled temporarily to be corresponded to one period of Hamming function, there can be fabricated a semiconductor optical filter whose the characteristic is very excellent when applying the present invention.

    摘要: An apparatus for monitoring a film growth is disclosed, in which, when a crystalline thin film is grown by applying an MOCVD (metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method), the variation of the thickness and composition due to certain factors can be detected with real time during the film growing process, and an in-situ adjustment is possible. As the optical detector for detecting two sets of reflected beams which are reflected from the film, a silicon detector and a germanium detector are used, the former being suitable for detecting short wavelength laser beams, and the latter being suitable for detecting long wavelength laser beams. Thus two different wavelengths are detected with real time, thereby measuring the thickness and composition of the film.
