    摘要: A semiconductor optical device such as a laser or semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based on an indium phosphide substrate or equivalent buffer layer. The active layer of the device is based on conventional InGaAs(P) alloy, but additionally includes N in order to increase the operating wavelength to greater than 1.5 μm, preferably to a wavelength lying in the C- or L-band. The active layer composition may thus be denoted In1-xGaxAsyNzPp with x≧0.48, y≦1−z−p, z≦0.05, p≧0. The active layer may include a quantum well or multi-quantum wells in which case its thickness is preferably less than the critical thickness for lattice relaxation. In other embodiments the active layer is a “massive” layer with quasi-bulk properties. The active layer may advantageously be under tensile stress, preferably roughly between 1% and 2.2%, to manipulate the light and heavy hole bands. The active layer is typically bounded by barrier layers made of a suitable semiconductor alloy, such as AlInAs or InGaAs(P).

    摘要: A semiconductor photonic diplex transceiver includes a laser to generate a first optical signal having a certain wavelength and a photodetector to detect a second optical signal having another wavelength. The diplex transceiver also includes an absorber of the first signal disposed between the laser and the detector which form integral parts of an optical waveguide. The laser generates the first signal in the form of a continuous wave and is disposed between the absorber and a selective modulator of the first signal. This reduces the problems of optical and electrical crosstalk between the transmit and receive functions. Applications include user premises optical fiber transmit/receive equipments.
