Provided is a waveguide photodetector including: a first clad layer disposed on a substrate; a core layer disposed on the first clad layer and for absorbing predetermined light; a second clad layer disposed on the core layer; and at least one subsidiary layer inserted in the first clad layer and the second clad layer. In this structure, the photodetector has about the same spot size as that of an optical fiber or planar lightwave circuit (PLC), so that incident light can be absorbed without loss, and the photodetector can more efficiently combine with the optical fiber or PLC and operate even at high power.

Provided is a method of fabricating a semiconductor optical device for use in a subscriber or a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical communication system, in which a laser diode (LD) and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) are integrated in a single active layer. The laser diode (LD) and the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) are optically connected to each other, and electrically insulated from each other by ion injection, whereby light generated from the LD is amplified by the SOA to provide low oscillation start current and high intensity of output light when current is individually injected through each electrode.
Abstract:
Filter-free wavelength converters for separating and rejecting an optical input signal. A first input port couples a continuous wave (CW) light. A second input port couples an optical input signal. A multimode interference semiconductor optical amplifier (MMI-SOA) determines the output port with the input port and intensity-modulation of the CW light with the optical input signal. A first output port guides the converted signal, and a second output port guides the optical input signal.

Abstract:
A channel switching function is added to a wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) system, which is an access optical network system, and the potential transmission rate is increased by combining wide wavelength tunable lasers and a time division multiplexing (TDM) data structure and properly using the necessary optical components. In addition, when the wavelength of a light source or an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) changes, the wavelength is traced and the magnitude of a transmitted signal is maximized without an additional detour line using a loop-back network structure. Furthermore, fewer thermo-electric controllers (TECs) are required for stabilizing the temperature of an optical line terminal (OLT) using wavelength tunable lasers, each laser electrically changing its wavelength.
Abstract:
Provided is a wavelength selective switch (WSS), and more particularly, a wavelength selective switch for electrically switching a wavelength without physical displacement. The wavelength selective switch includes an optical demultiplexer for dividing an input optical signal into signals having wavelengths corresponding to respective channels, selecting either the optical signal of each channel obtained by dividing the input optical signal or an optical signal input via an add port, and outputting the selected optical signal; and an optical multiplexer including an optical deflecting unit for individually deflecting the optical signals of the respective channels received from the optical demultiplexer according to supplied current or applied voltage, wherein the optical signal of each channel deflected by the optical deflecting unit is output to a specific output port. In the wavelength selective switch, current is supplied to the optical deflectors to switch the channels, resulting in higher reliability, smaller volume and higher switching speed than a conventional wavelength selective switch using mechanical displacement to switch channels.
