A multi-channel light source includes a semiconductor optical amplifier for generating light of a wide wavelength band and outputting the generated light through a first end and a second end. The source further includes a Fabry-Perot (FP) resonator for resonating the light inputted from the semiconductor optical amplifier to generate an FP fringe and outputting the FP fringe to the semiconductor optical amplifier. The semiconductor optical amplifier amplifies the FP fringe inputted from the FP resonator and outputs the amplified FP fringe through the first end.

A reflective semiconductor optical amplifier includes a substrate, a waveguide with a buried heterostructure formed by sequentially laminating a lower cladding, an active layer, and an upper cladding on the substrate, the waveguide including, sequentially, respective straight line, curved and tapered waveguide regions. A current blocking layer surrounds the waveguide to prevent electric current from flowing outside the active layer. Selectively etching portions of the current blocking layer and the substrate around the waveguide forms a trench to reduce parasitic capacitance. Further features include a window region on one end of the tapered waveguide region, an anti-reflection surface on one end of the window region, and a high-reflection surface on one end of the straight line waveguide region.
