Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-layer optical planar waveguide which is vertically coupled using multimode-interference couplers and to the method of manufacturing the same. The purpose of this invention is to increase the degree of integration on the multi-layer optical planar waveguide by applying the concept of via holes of the multi-layer printed circuit board (MLPCB) used in electronic circuits to the optical waveguide devices. According to the present invention, particularly, a multimode interference coupler of a stepped structure has the higher coupling ratio at relatively short length of interference than the usual multimode interference coupler. The present invention can implement a multimode interference coupler at a specialized spot while reducing evanescent field interference between the upper and lower optical waveguides out of the spot by separating the layers enough.

Abstract: A planar waveguide-type optical amplifier switch is disclosed. The switch is developed with the purpose of solving the problems that the conventional waveguide-type optical switch, which has been being used in the optical communication technique, has an optical loss and thereby requires an external optical amplifier which makes the whole devices not suitable for forming an integrated compact device. The disclosed switch performs switching function from the refractive index change in the optical waveguides induced by electrical or optical controls as well as amplifying function of the optical signal, when it passes through the waveguides, from use of optical waveguides formed of a fluorescence emitting material with an optical pumping and a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical waveguide-type coupler. The optical amplifier switch scheme, which provides a simultaneous optical switching and amplification in an optical waveguide form, allows the device fabricable in a compact integrated manner and more useful in practical applications. The optical amplifier switch in accordance with the present invention can replace the conventional optical switches of the prior art, and can promote technical development in the areas of high-capacity optical communication systems, massive optical signal processing, optical switching, optical computing, and so on.

Abstract: A laser structure for obtaining an optical pulse of a very short duration by using the benefit of a passive mode locking and for improving a repetition rate of an output optical pulse was described. In general, a passively mode-locked laser generates a short optical pulse than a active mode locked laser does, while it has difficulties in increasing the repetition rate of the output optical pulse because the repetition rate of the passively mode-locked laser is determined by the length of the resonator. In accordance with the present invention, a delayed optical path is added to the linear loop of a conventional figure-8 optical fiber laser. The propagation time difference .DELTA.T between the delayed optical path and undelayed short optical path is adjusted to a divisor of the round trip time, T, of the original resonator by properly adjusting the length of the delayed optical path. Thus, the repetition rate of the output optical pulse of the mode locked laser can be increased from 1/T Hz to 1/.DELTA.T Hz. The optical fiber laser which can fully exploit the advantages of the passive mode locking and improve the repetition rate of the output optical pulse in accordance with the present invention can be applied to a wide range of applications including an optical communication and an ultra high speed analysis of optical phenomena.
