An optical module is formed by sticking the optical element mounting substrate and the sealing substrate together, then by sealing the stuck body. The optical mounting substrate includes an optical element on its top surface and it is used to guide electrical signals to its back side through a through-via hole provided in itself. The sealing substrate includes a lens at its back side and a recessed part used to hold an optical fiber at its front side.

The invention provides an optical waveguide for enabling the reduction of a coupling loss caused by difference in the size of a mode field diameter between optical waveguide modes different in the mode field diameter and a coupling loss caused by reflection on a boundary caused by the difference of media and an optical device using it. Structure provided with a mode field diameter converter provided with an antireflection part required to reduce a coupling loss between a microoptical circuit and a single mode optical fiber is integrally produced using effective refractive index control based upon photonic crystal structure.

A semiconductor optical amplifier module comprises: a demultiplexer made of a semiconductor material to separate an optical input signal containing a plurality of wavelength components into a plurality of demultiplexed signals, each of the demultiplexed signals having a different one of the wavelength component; a plurality of semiconductor optical amplifiers each optically coupled to the demultiplexer to amplify a corresponding one of the demultiplexed signals; and a multiplexer made of the semiconductor material and optically coupled to the plurality of semiconductor optical amplifiers to combine the demultiplexed signals amplified by the semiconductor optical amplifiers to produce a multiplexed signal. The demultiplexer, the semiconductor amplifiers and the multiplexer are integrated on a single semiconductor substrate. The demultiplexer and the multiplexer may be implemented by arrayed waveguide diffraction grating structures, and the semiconductor optical amplifiers may be implemented by a semiconductor quantum well structure having well widths ranging from a minimum value to a maximum value. The semiconductor optical amplifiers can provide a gain wavelength bandwidth of 80-800 nm.
