    Abstract: An optical apparatus includes a cooling device with a lower clad disposed thereon; a waveguide disposed on the lower clad and including an active waveguide to define a gain section and a passive waveguide to define a wavelength-tunable section; gratings disposed in the lower clad of the wavelength-tunable section; an upper clad disposed on the waveguide; a first upper electrode disposed on the upper clad of the gain section; and a second upper electrode disposed on the upper clad of the wavelength-tunable section. The lower clad of the wavelength-tunable section has a recess region to expose an upper surface of the cooling device, the recess region forming an air gap-having a height of 10 μm to 80 μm from the upper surface of the cooling device. The gratings are formed in a depth of at least 5 μm from a bottom surface of the lower clad of the recess region.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a compact external cavity tunable laser apparatus. The laser apparatus includes a substrate, an external cavity tunable reflecting unit that reflects laser light entering from the outside on the substrate and selects and varies a wavelength of the reflected laser light, an optical fiber that outputs the laser light on the substrate; and an highly integrated light source that integrates the laser light input from the external cavity tunable reflecting unit using inclined input and output waveguides, a curved waveguide, and a straight waveguide to output the integrated laser light to the optical fiber in order to match an optical axis formed with the external cavity tunable reflecting unit with an optical axis formed with an optical fiber.
