Provided are a laser diode generating passive mode locking that does not contain non-linear sector of an SA, and a method of creating an optical pulse using the same diode. The laser diode includes a DFB sector serving as a reflector and a gain sector. The gain sector is connected to the DFB sector and includes an as-cleaved facet formed at the end of the gain sector. When a current less than a threshold current is applied to the DFB sector to allow the DFB sector to operate as a reflector, passive mode locking occurs swiftly and therefore a sector of the SA is not required, which makes manufacturing simple. Also, it is possible to effectively extend a frequency variable region compared to using of the SA.

Provided is a wavelength tunable light source that can electrically tune wavelengths by monolithically integrating an optical amplifier, a beam steering unit, and a concave diffraction grating on a single substrate. A beam is deflected by the beam steering unit when an electrical signal is applied to two electrodes installed in the beam steering unit to be incident on the diffraction grating, and then diffracted by the diffraction grating according to the incidence angle such that part of the beam with a specific wavelength is reflected, thereby achieving wavelength tuning. Since the wavelength tuning is achieved electrically, the wavelength tunable light source is structurally stable and has a rapid wavelength tuning rate.

Provided is a wavelength selective switch (WSS), and more particularly, a wavelength selective switch for electrically switching a wavelength without physical displacement. The wavelength selective switch includes an optical demultiplexer for dividing an input optical signal into signals having wavelengths corresponding to respective channels, selecting either the optical signal of each channel obtained by dividing the input optical signal or an optical signal input via an add port, and outputting the selected optical signal; and an optical multiplexer including an optical deflecting unit for individually deflecting the optical signals of the respective channels received from the optical demultiplexer according to supplied current or applied voltage, wherein the optical signal of each channel deflected by the optical deflecting unit is output to a specific output port. In the wavelength selective switch, current is supplied to the optical deflectors to switch the channels, resulting in higher reliability, smaller volume and higher switching speed than a conventional wavelength selective switch using mechanical displacement to switch channels.

Provided is a signal processor for converting a signal that converts a return to zero (RZ) signal into a non-return to zero (NRZ) signal, in which two 2R (re-amplifying, re-shaping) regenerators are connected in parallel between an input waveguide and an output waveguide with different lengths from each other. The 2R regenerator includes: two semiconductor optical amplifiers having different lengths from each other; and phase control means connected to a short semiconductor optical amplifier. The RZ signal input by a length difference of the waveguide is delayed by a time difference of a half of one bit so that the 2R regenerated NRZ signal can be obtained.
