    摘要: The nitride semiconductor layer structure comprises a buffer layer and a composite layer on the buffer layer. The buffer layer is a layer of a low-temperature-deposited nitride semiconductor material that includes AlN. The composite layer is a layer of a single-crystal nitride semiconductor material that includes AlN. The composite layer includes a first sub-layer adjacent the buffer layer and a second sub-layer over the first sub-layer. The single-crystal nitride semiconductor material of the composite layer has a first AlN molar fraction in the first sub-layer and has a second AlN molar fraction in the second sub-layer. The second AlN molar fraction is greater than the first AlN molar fraction. The nitride semiconductor laser comprises a portion of the above-described nitride semiconductor layer structure, and additionally comprises an optical waveguide layer over the composite layer and an active layer over the optical waveguide layer.

    摘要: A method and a system for monitoring specific channels in a WDM system involve splitting a WDM signal into multiple parallel signals, filtering the parallel signals with corresponding individually tunable filters in order to pass specific channels to each filter, and then detecting the presence of passed channels with dedicated detectors that correspond to the tunable filters. In a preferred embodiment, the initial WDM signal is demultiplexed by wavelength into multiple different transmission groups and each filter can be individually tuned over a channel range that corresponds to the range of channels within the transmission group that is directed to the filter. The preferred individually tunable filters are vertical cavity filters formed utilizing semiconductor wafer processing techniques, and the preferred photodetectors are simple low cost single-cell photodetectors.

    摘要: A method for fabricating opto-electronic devices having a surface that includes a first mirror facet in a first semiconductor layer deposited on a wafer. The mirror facet is located in a first facet plane. In the method of the present invention, the wafer is divided along a first line to create a segment having the mirror facet located therein. The segment is fixed to a fixture that moves in relation to a dicing disk that has a first planar surface in which polishing grit is embedded. The segment is fixed to a mounting surface such that the first plane is aligned parallel to the first planar surface of the dicing disk. The dicing disk is caused to rotate while the first planar surface is in contact with the segment, but not in contact with the mounting surface, thereby polishing a surface of the segment. For opto-electronic devices that include a second mirror facet in a second facet plane, the second facet plane being parallel to the first facet plane and displaced therefrom, the wafer is also divided along the second line such that the segment also includes the second facet plane. The second mirror surface is polished by causing the dicing disk to rotate while the second planar surface is in contact with the segment along the second line. The present invention can be practiced with a conventional dicing saw.

    摘要: A measurement apparatus for an optical signal under test includes a closed-loop optical path, an optical mixer in the closed-loop optical path and a photodetector. The optical signal under test and sampling light having a wavelength different from that of the optical signal under test are circulated in the closed-loop optical path. Sum/difference frequency light is generated every time the sampling light passes through the optical mixer. The sum/difference frequency light is detected by the photodetector, which provides a signal representative of the waveform of the optical signal under test.
