    摘要: A wavelength-tunable semiconductor laser of distributed feedback (DFB) type wherein a diffraction grating having periodic corrugations along the direction of travel of light is formed on an active layer of at least one of layers adjacent thereto. An electrode on one side is separated into four or more electrodes in the direction of the cavity of the laser. Nonadjoining ones of them are electrically connected to form two electrode groups. The total length of first regions corresponding to a first one of the two electrode groups is larger than the total length of second regions corresponding to the second electrode group. The refractive indexes of the first regions are changed through current injection change to the first electrode group to vary the lasing wavelength and the gain of the second regions is controlled through current injection to the second electrode group, thereby generating output light of a constant output power and a variable single wavelength.

    摘要: A diffraction grating is disposed adjacent to a ridge waveguide formed on a substrate (cladding). Assumed that a light propagation direction at the waveguide is z, a direction of width of the waveguide is x, and ends of the diffraction grating of this embodiment is x=gmin when z=0 and x=gmax when z=L/2, the ends of the diffraction grating can be expressed as the following functions f(z). Namely, f(Z)=gmin+(gmax−gmin)×(2z/L)n when 0≦z≦L/2, and f(Z)=gmin+(gmax−gmin)×(2-2z/L)n when L/2≦z≦L, where n>1.

    摘要: An optical add/drop multiplexer device which is capable of extracting or inserting optical signals of arbitrary wavelength and having a wavelength selection characteristic with a narrow bandwidth, and which is compact in size and highly reliable. The device is formed by a substrate member; a plurality of optical waveguides, formed over the substrate member in layers with a prescribed interval along a direction perpendicular to a plane of the substrate member, each optical waveguide having a portion arranged in parallel and in proximity to an adjacent optical waveguide to form a coupling section; and a diffraction grating member, provided at the coupling section and having a prescribed period along a light propagation direction, for reflecting light signals with a specific wavelength among light signals entered from one of adjacent optical waveguides to another one of the adjacent optical waveguides.
