Abstract: A grating-stabilized semiconductor laser comprises a semiconductor laser gain medium, an integrated low-index waveguide, and a waveguide grating segment providing optical feedback for laser oscillation. The laser may be adapted for multi-mode or single-mode operation. A multiple-mode laser may oscillate with reduced power and/or wavelength fluctuations associated with longitudinal mode wavelength shifts, relative to Fabry-Perot lasers lacking gratings. A single-mode laser may include a compensator, wavelength reference, and detector for generating an error signal, and a feedback mechanism for controlling the compensator for maintaining the laser wavelength locked to the reference. The laser may include means for altering, enhancing, tuning, and/or stabilizing the waveguide grating reflectivity spectral profile. The laser may be adapted for optical transverse-coupling to another waveguide.

Abstract: An optical apparatus comprises a semiconductor optical device waveguide (100) and an integrated end-coupled waveguide (200) formed on the semiconductor substrate (102). The integrated waveguide (200) may comprise material differing from those of the device waveguide (100) and the substrate (102). Spatially selective material processing may be employed for first forming the optical device waveguide (100) on the substrate (102), and for subsequently depositing and forming the integrated end-coupled waveguide (200) on the substrate (102). Spatially selective material processing enables accurate spatial mode matching and transverse alignment of the waveguides. Multiple device waveguides and corresponding integrated end-coupled waveguides may be fabricated concurrently on a common substrate on a wafer scale. The integrated end-coupled waveguide (200) may be adapted for fulfilling one or more functions, and the device waveguide (100), integrated waveguide (200) and/or spatially selective material processing steps may be adapted for achieving the needed/desired degree of end-coupling.
