摘要: A functional optical device is disclosed. The optical functional device integrates a coupling unit, a light-receiving element and an optical waveguide on a semiconductor substrate. The coupling unit extracts an optical signal by interfering between signal light and local light. The optical waveguide carries the optical signal from the coupling unit to the light-receiving element. The light-receiving element receives the optical signal. The semiconductor substrate provides a heavily doped conducting layer and a buffer layer that is un-doped or lightly doped with impurities by density smaller than density of impurities in the conducting layer. The conducting layer and the buffer layer continuously and evenly expand from the optical waveguide to the light-receiving element.

摘要: A functional optical device applicable to a coherent optical communication system as a front end device is disclosed. The functional optical device includes a pair of light-receiving elements of a type of waveguide photodiode (PD), a pair of signal pads, a pair of ground pads, a bias pad, and a substrate that monolithically integrates those elements thereon. The light-receiving elements generate a photocurrent complementary to each other in respective anodes thereof; while, receive biases through the bias pad common to the light-receiving elements. Those pads are disposed along an edge of the substrate such that the signal pads put the bias pads therebetween, and the ground pads put the signal pads and the bias pad therebetween.
