A laser device (1) comprises a ridge waveguide (2) comprising an upper cladding layer (5) and a lower cladding layer (6), between which is located an active layer (7). A ridge (8) formed in the upper cladding layer (5) defines the lateral width of a light guiding region (9) in the active layer (7). The ridge (8) is formed so that a portion (13) of the light guiding region (9) extends above the active layer (7) into the ridge (8). A plurality of lateral reflecting slots (15) extend laterally across the ridge (8) and extend into the ridge (8) to a depth sufficient to extend into the portion (13) of the light guiding region (9) which extends into the ridge (8) in order that the reflectivity of each lateral slot (15) is in the order of 2%. The combined reflectivity of the lateral slots (15) is such that the slots (15) intersect more than 20% of the total mode energy in the light guiding region (9), and this in combination with the gain of the active layer (7) is such as to facilitate lasing within the light guiding region (9) independently of the reflectivity of end facets (18,19) of the waveguide (2). Accordingly, the laser device (1) is particularly suitable for integrally forming with other optical components, for example, an optical modulator or an optical detector on a single semiconductor chip, whereby the laser device and the other optical components are formed in series on the same light guiding region (9).

The present invention provides a system and method for creating a coherent optical comb comprising a plurality of lasers, each laser providing an optical output channel; means for combining each optical channel output; a modulator for modulating the combined optical channel outputs, to provide a modulated signal; means for feeding back said modulated signal to said plurality of lasers, such that each laser output channel is phase and/or frequency locked with respect to at least one other of said plurality of lasers. A discrete optical comb is obtained without the need for excessively high power laser outputs and only employs a single (optional) wavelength locker for all channels.

The present invention relates to a preassembled media line with a line connector, composed of a connector body with a connecting portion to which a media line is connected, and with a coupling portion for sealed connection to a mating coupling part. In this arrangement, the media line is provided with a heating wire and said heating wire is continued from the connector body and the media line, when connected, in such a manner that it is arranged at least partially on the coupling portion. The connector body and the media line are surrounded at the end by a housing formed, in particular, from housing shells, the sealing function and a retaining function being divided between the housing and the connector body.

A monolithic optical transmitter photonic integrated circuit (TXPIC) comprises a plurality of integrated modulated sources which, when all operated at constant current, display a power output that varies as a function of array position similar to a quadratic-shaped curve and, further, forming an array of signal channels each having a different wavelength output. An optical combiner/decombiner is integrated in the circuit and has at least one free space region with a plurality of ordered bands along its edge where the zero order band is substantially at a longitudinal centerline of the free space region and where, on either side of this band, is a first order band followed by additional higher order bands. The ends of the output waveguides from the modulated sources are coupled approximate to the free space region edge along a region of the zero order band between one of the adjacent first order bands and a longitudinal centerline of the zero order band so that the inputs of the signal channels to the combiner of are titled or offset with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the combiner free space region so the combined outputs from the optical combiner will be aligned along the slope of the quadric-shaped curve of the combiner output passband envelope. The tilted combiner/decombiner may also be deployed in a receiver photonic integrated circuit (RxPIC) or other circuit employing such a device.

An optical receiver photonic integrated circuit (RxPIC) comprises a semiconductor monolithic chip having an input to receive from an optical transmission link a combined channel signal originating from an optical transmitter source and comprising a plurality of channel signals having different wavelengths forming a wavelength grid. An optical decombiner is integrated in the chip and optically coupled to the input to receive the multiplexed channel signal and provide a decombined individual channel signal on an output waveguide of a plurality of such output waveguides provided from the optical decombiner. A plurality of photodetectors are also integrated in the chip and each photodetector is optically coupled to one of the output waveguides to receive a decombined channel signal and convert the channel signal to an electrical signal. A controller is coupled to receive a portion of the converted signals to determine at least one performance property of the signals and provide service channel signal as feedback about that property via the semiconductor monolithic chip to the optical transmitter source. The controller is coupled to an integrated optical service channel (OSC) on the chip that has a light source which is modulated by the service channel signal. The light source may be integrated on the chip. The optical service channel (OSC) is coupled as an input to the decombiner for transport off the chip to optical transmitter source. If there is an optical amplifier at the input of the chip, the service channel signai will be amplified by that amplifier. Such an optical amplifier may be an off-chip rare earth doped amplifier or an on-chip semiconductor optical amplifier.
