    摘要: Semiconductor quantum well devices and methods of making the same are described. In one aspect, a device includes a quantum well structure that includes semiconductor layers defining interleaved heavy-hole and light-hole valance band quantum wells. Each of the quantum wells includes a quantum well layer interposed between barrier layers. One of the semiconductor layers that functions as a barrier layer of one of the light-hole quantum wells also functions as the quantum well layer of one of the heavy-hole quantum wells. Another of the semiconductor layers that functions as a barrier layer of one of the heavy-hole quantum wells also functions as the quantum well layer of one of the light-hole quantum wells.

    摘要: An optical transmitter includes a drive laser, a 1×N splitter, and an array of modulators. The 1×N splitter is coupled to split a beam from the drive laser into separated beams, and the modulators modulate the respective beam to represent respective data signals that are transmitted in parallel. Embodiments of the transmitter can provide high data rate communications at low cost by eliminating the need for an array of isolators and eliminating the need for high quality AR coatings. Additionally, an integrated optical circuit containing the modulator array does not require an array of lasers and can be fabricated at higher yields and lower costs.

The apparatus has a core layer and a cladding layer, the core layer having at least one optical waveguide, and an alignment structure spaced from and positioned with respect to the at least one optical waveguide to facilitate measuring a position of the at least one optical waveguide. The alignment structure has a first alignment structure, such as a reflecting member, to facilitate measuring a height of the at least one optical waveguide; and a second alignment structure, such as alignment marks, to facilitate measuring positions of the at least one optical waveguide in a plane of the at least one optical waveguide. The method includes forming both the optical waveguide and at least a portion of the alignment structure simultaneously in a single processing step to ensure that the optical waveguide and the alignment structure are in perfect registration.

    摘要: Multi-channel Fabry-Perot laser transmitters and methods of generating multiple modulated optical signals are described. In one aspect, an optical transmitter includes a Fabry-Perot (FP) laser, an optical isolator, an optical splitter, and multiple electroabsorption modulators (EAMs). The FP laser is operable to generate multimode laser light. The optical isolator is arranged to transmit the multimode laser light. The optical splitter has more than one optical output and an optical input that is arranged to receive the multimode laser light transmitted by the optical isolator. Each of the EAMs is operable to modulate a respective laser light output from a respective optical output of the optical splitter. In another aspect, multimode laser light is generated. The multimode laser light is directionally isolated. The directionally-isolated multimode laser light is divided into more than one divided laser light output. Each of the divided laser light outputs is modulated to produce multiple modulated optical signals.

    摘要: A parametric photodiode amplifier suitable for detecting light of frequency f and intensity P and having intersecting I:V curves for zero incident light and for incident light of intensity P. These photodiodes typically have an intrinsic density of carriers that is on the order of or less than the density of carriers produced by incident light of intensity P. When the photodiode is biased by an LO signal and is illuminated with modulated light of carrier frequency f, the photodiode output signal contains IF components at the difference between the frequencies of the modulation signal and the frequencies of on the order of the 23 lower harmonics of the LO signal.
