摘要:
A width of a core in an optical waveguide is decreased in accordance with a value of a predetermined equation, as a distance of a position of the core to the center position thereof is decreased. Consequently, a rectangular spectrum property having no ripple is obtained on a lower wavelength side in a reflection grating. In addition, the width of the core is changed at the position Z in the direction of light propagation, while a UV light is radiated to the core, so that a periodically striated distribution of refractive indices having an envelope which is changed in accordance with a value of ".vertline.sin(C.multidot.Z).vertline./.vertline.C.multidot.Z.vertline." is formed in the core of the optical waveguide, and a phase of a light to be propagated in the direction of the light propagation is shifted at the position Z as defined below by .pi.. Z=m.pi./C(m=. . . ,-3,-2,-1,1,2,3, . . ) Thus, a rectangular spectrum property is obtained in a low reflection grating.

In an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer comprising optical multiplexer/demultiplexer circuits connected in multistage, the optical multiplexer/demultiplexer circuits each have two input ports and two output ports, an optical path, through which input optical signals with predetermined wavelengths are output after multiplexing and demultiplexing, varies depending upon the input port; the optical paths in each of the optical multiplexer/demultiplexer circuits have mutually opposite wavelength dispersion characteristics, and one of the optical paths in a first optical multiplexer/demultiplexer circuit is connected to one of the optical paths, in a second optical multiplexer/demultiplexer circuit, having wavelength dispersion characteristics opposite to the optical path in the first optical multiplexer/demultiplexer circuit. By virtue of this construction, an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer can be realized which causes no significant wavelength dispersion and, at the same time, has excellent wavelength flatness characteristics in passband.
摘要:
A waveguide type grating device according to the invention includes a quartz substrate, a cladding and two waveguides. Waveguides are arranged to provide an input port, an Add port, an output port, a Drop port, directional 3 dB couplers, core width-changing portions, and grating portions each interposed between core width-changing portions. The width of core is changed between each non-grating portion and each grating portion in an adiabatic structure, for example, a parabolic structure. For this structure, a waveguide type grating device is structured to suppress the increase in wavelength loss due to coupling from progressive propagation mode to regressive radiation mode, with less cost and smaller dimension.

An optical device having a switching function has a waveguide filter for switching whether input signal light of including at least one specific wavelength should be transmitted or reflected. The input signal lights of wavelength of .lambda..sub.1 .about..lambda.n are transmitted to the input waveguide. When the waveguide filter is off, the signal lights of all wavelength are transmitted to the output port. When the waveguide filter is on, the signal light of wavelength of .lambda..sub.2 .about..lambda.n are transmitted, but the signal light of wavelength of .lambda..sub.2 is reversed and output to the drop port. If the thin film heaters are off, a signal light of wavelength of .lambda..sub.1 is output (dropped) from the drop port. If the thin film heaters are on, it is reversed and transmitted to the output port.

A glass wave guide element, which is small in size and amenable to integration and mass-production, and a method of manufacturing the glass wave guide element are provided. The glass wave guide element includes a core having a diffraction grating formed on an under cladding, an over cladding covering the core and a heater for changing the Bragg wavelength of the diffraction grating, the heater being arranged on the over cladding. The core and a central portion of both claddings in a surrounding portion around the core are formed in a state of being continuously separated along a longitudinal direction of the core from the substrate through a gap, and the core and the surrounding portion around the core are formed in a state of being spatially intermittently separated in a width direction of the core from a surrounding portion of both claddings through a gap. The wave guide is formed by etching to form gaps spaced intermittently along both sides of a core with under cladding and over cladding, and then removing a patterned silicon film from underneath the core.

The above construction can bring wavelength characteristics to a rectangular form to broaden the transmission band and at the same time can reduce the loss.
