摘要： To overcome the deleterious effects of the nonuniform frequency modulation response in semiconductor lasers due to current injection in direct frequency modulation applications, it has been determined that the linewidth enhancement factor α be made as large as possible. In one embodiment, distributed feedback lasers well suited for frequency modulation lightwave communication systems are designed to have an integrated feedback element such as a corrugation grating whose effective pitch is selected to cause the Bragg wavelength and, therefore, the laser operating wavelength to be longer than the wavelength at substantially the maximum gain or gain peak in the semiconductor structure without the grating. That is, the wavelength of the grating is effectively detuned toward the longer wavelength and lower energy side of the peak of the gain profile. Such detuning increases the linewidth enhancement factor in such a way that the nonuniform frequency modulation response and its effects are minimized and, in some cases, substantially eliminated.

摘要： Various optical functions are generated in accordance with the present invention of a novel broadly tunable monolithic wavelength selective coupler which can be integrated with a gain medium to form a broadly tunable laser. The tunable wavelength selective coupler supports a pair of asynchronous waveguides (16,18), an upper waveguide and a lower waveguide, in combination with a phase match course grating for coupling optical energy between said waveguides. One end of the lower waveguide terminates at an output facet. The corresponding end of the upper waveguide terminates in an optical signal absorbing medium (14). The other end of the lower waveguide is terminated to prevent optical energy from entering the waveguide; and, the corresponding end of the upper waveguide terminates at an input facet. The combination of a gain section and the monolithically tunable wavelength selective coupler forms a broadly tunable laser which is an important source of optical energy for a number of applications such as wavelength division multiplexed networks and switching systems. The laser frequency is determined by that wavelength λo which satisfies the forward coupling phase match condition, λg = Λ|N₂ - N₁| of the coupler where Λ is the coarse gating period and N₁,N₂ are the effective indices of the two waveguides. Wavelengths which are not coupled from the upper waveguide to the lower waveguide are attenuated in the optical signal absorbing means. Tuning of the laser wavelength is achieved by either injecting current into or applying a reverse bias voltage to the upper waveguide to decrease or increase its index respectively and change the coupled wavelength.

摘要： The device here disclosed comprises an optical amplifier (12) coupled to direct optical energy into a passive wavegulde (16,14,21) for transmission through the waveguide to its other end. A photodetector (8) positioned relative to the passive waveguide, detects the presence of optical energy in the passive waveguide. The photodetector in the structure illustrated is positioned downstream from the optical amplifier and spatially positioned with respect to the optical amplifier to receive optical energy only from the waveguide. The photodetector does not receive optical energy directly from the optical amplifier. A small fraction of the optical energy carried by the passive waveguide is received and detected by the photodetector.

摘要： Adiabatic mode control and structural reproducibility are achieved by a tapered semiconductor waveguide structure wherein semiconductor guiding layers are interleaved with stop-etch layers and each guiding layer extends further along the propagation axis of the waveguide further than the guiding layer immediately adjacent thereabove to create a staircase-like core or guiding structure. Cladding regions of appropriate semiconductor material having a lower index of refraction than the tapered core structure may be added to completely surround the tapered guiding structure. The profile of the tapered structure is realizable as any desired staircase-like shape such as linear, parabolic, exponential or the like. Additional layers of higher index of refraction semiconductor material may be included in the cladding region to permit additional beam shaping of the expanded spatial mode propagating along the tapered waveguide. Photolithographic masks defining successively larger exposed areas are aligned, deposited over the waveguide structure, and then removed following each etching step. Material selective etching techniques are employed to remove exposed (unmasked) portions of guiding layers. In sequence, the exposed, formerly underlying portions of the stop-etch layers are then removed using material selective etching. Iteration of the above process steps permits a tapered waveguide structure to be defined.

摘要： An apparatus and technique for providing isolation for a signal source utilizing two or more modulators is described. In particular, the apparatus generates a timed sequence of "open gates" that are synchronized to the data signal which permit transmission in a forward direction, and which attenuate a reverse direction signal. Another embodiment attenuates primarily reflected light signals by utilizing a passive waveguide and a modulator. The passive waveguide provides a propagation delay such that signals reflected from its end facet are attenuated by the modulator. The apparatus is suitable for use as an isolator for a light source in a high-speed optical fiber data transmission system.
