    Abstract: Provided is an optical deflector for deflecting radiation beams. The optical deflector includes: a peripheral region having a first effective refractive index; and a deflection pattern region having a predetermined shape and a second effective refractive index, wherein the second effective refractive index differs from the first effective refractive index. Here, due to the deflection pattern region having the predetermined shape, the radiation beams are deflected in a direction starting from a certain point. By using the optical deflector, the locus of a light source can be designed in one of various forms, such as a straight line, a circle, an ellipse, or a parabola.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical switch device for totally reflecting an incident light therein in accordance with a change in refractive index occurring owing to current application, which is manufactured by the steps of: sequentially forming an optical waveguide layer, an n-InP clad layer and an n-InGaAs cap layer on a main surface of an n-InP substrate using an epitaxial growing; selectively etching the n-InGaAs cap layer to form an opening tapered downward; diffusing an impurity into the n-InP clad layer through the opening and into the n-InGaAs cap layer to a predetermined depth from a surface thereof so as to form a first impurity diffused region in the n-InP clad layer under the opening and to form a second impurity diffused region along the surface of the n-InGaAs cap layer; etching the layers on the optical waveguide layer using a mask to form a ridge-shaped waveguide; and forming electrodes on the n-InGaAs cap layer and an exposed surface of the n-InP clad layer and on a surface which is opposite to the main surface of the n-InP substrate. Also, before forming the n-InGaAs cap layer, a p-InP current blocking layer is formed between the n-InP clad layer and the n-InGaAs cap layer so as to prevent a current from being dispersed other portions excluding the impurity diffused portion.

    Abstract: A channel switching function is added to a wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) system, which is an access optical network system, and the potential transmission rate is increased by combining wide wavelength tunable lasers and a time division multiplexing (TDM) data structure and properly using the necessary optical components. In addition, when the wavelength of a light source or an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) changes, the wavelength is traced and the magnitude of a transmitted signal is maximized without an additional detour line using a loop-back network structure. Furthermore, fewer thermo-electric controllers (TECs) are required for stabilizing the temperature of an optical line terminal (OLT) using wavelength tunable lasers, each laser electrically changing its wavelength.

    Abstract: A wavelength tunable laser diode using a double coupled ring resonator is provided. A new double coupled ring resonator structure is formed by a connection of two ring resonators having different radii so that stable laser oscillation occurs only in a resonant wavelength at which the two ring resonators are simultaneously resonated, and the effective refractive index of the two ring resonators is properly controlled differently for tunable laser oscillation wavelengths. The reproducibility of the optical coupling characteristics of the passive waveguides and the ring resonator can be assured by multi-mode couplers. This results in improved manufacturing productivity of the wavelength tunable laser diode. It is possible to amplify and output an output light without having an effect on oscillation wavelength characteristic by means of an optical amplifier integrated in an output end.

    Abstract: Provided is a tunable external cavity laser diode using a variable optical deflector wherein the variable optical deflector, in which a refractive index varies according to an electrical signal, is arranged in a triangular shape between a concave diffraction grating and a reflective mirror. Since a resonant frequency is changed using the electrical signal rather than the mechanical movement, the stable operation and continuous high-speed tenability may be enabled. In addition, when the tunable external cavity laser diode according to the present invention is implemented in an InP/InGaAsP/InP slab waveguide, a variable time determined by the carrier lifetime may be reduced to several nanoseconds or less, the miniaturization is enabled, and the manufacturing costs are significantly reduced due to the process simplification. Moreover, when the concave diffraction grating is designed based on a silica (or polymer) based slab waveguide, the fabrication may be performed even by a lithography process having low resolution, thereby enhancing reproducibility and uniformity of the diffraction grating, and accordingly reducing the manufacturing costs.
