    Abstract: Embodiments describe optical devices including a first waveguide, comprising a first cross-sectional area, to receive a light comprising a first optical mode, and a second waveguide, adjacent to the first waveguide, to receive a light comprising a second optical mode orthogonal to the first optical mode. The second waveguide comprises a second cross-sectional area different than the first waveguide such that an absorption/gain coefficient of the second waveguide for light comprising the second optical mode is equal to an absorption/gain coefficient of the first waveguide for light comprising the first optical mode. The optical devices may comprise modulators, photodetectors, or semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs).

    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure a system for compensating for polarization dependent loss experienced by an optical signal comprises an optical amplifier configured to amplify an optical signal and having a polarization dependent gain (PDG). The system also comprises a polarization rotator coupled to the amplifier and configured to rotate the polarization of the optical signal before the signal enters the amplifier. The system also comprises a polarization dependent loss (PDL) controller coupled to the amplifier and the rotator. The PDL controller may be configured to determine a post-amplifier PDL of the optical signal as the signal leaves the optical amplifier. The PDL controller may also be configured to control the rotator to rotate the polarization of the optical signal based on the post-amplifier PDL, such that the PDG of the amplifier compensates for the PDL experienced by the optical signal.

    Abstract: An optical amplifier has a low polarization dependent gain. The amplifier includes a gain medium including a plurality of adjoining semiconductor layers to provide optical gain wherein the adjoining semiconductor layers define one or more quantum wells for electrons and are operative to provide both direct and indirect electron-hole transitions in the gain medium. A first quantized electron energy level in the conduction band and a first quantized hole energy level in the valence band is located in a first layer. A further first quantized hole energy level in the valence band is located in an adjacent second layer.

    Abstract: An optical semiconductor device such as, for example, a quantum dot SOA and a fabrication method therefor are disclosed wherein an active layer and a current constriction structure can be formed leftwardly and rightwardly symmetrically to minimize the polarization dependency. The fabrication method for an optical semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a semiconductor layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a groove by removing the semiconductor layer at an opening of a mask, forming a first clad layer in the form of a projection having two symmetrical inclined faces in the groove by selective growth by using the mask as a selective growth mask, forming an active layer on the two inclined faces of the first clad layer, and removing the mask and burying the active layer with a second clad layer.
