    摘要: A wavelength tunable laser includes a filter region having a wavelength selection function on light from a gain region, wherein the filter region is a Sagnac interferometer and includes two ring resonators. The ring resonator has two optical couplers, and first and second curved waveguides connecting the two optical couplers, each of the two optical couplers is configured to receive input of the light from the gain region through an input-output port, to couple light of a resonant peak to a bar port of the input-output port, and to couple light except light at a resonant peak wavelength to a cross port of the input-output port, and each of radiation waveguides connected to the cross ports of the input-output ports of the two optical couplers has a structure that radiates the light except the light at the resonant peak wavelength to a front surface or a back surface of a substrate.

    摘要: A semiconductor optical device includes: a first cladding layer formed on a Si substrate; a core formed on the first cladding layer; and a second cladding layer formed on the first cladding layer to cover the core. A lower cladding layer including SiO2 or the like is formed on (a front surface of) the Si substrate, and the first cladding layer is formed on the lower cladding layer. The first cladding layer includes a material having thermal conductivity higher than thermal conductivity of a direct transition type semiconductor. A refractive index of the first cladding layer is higher than that of the second cladding layer and lower than that of the core. In an optical coupling region of an optical waveguide by the core, a cross-sectional shape of the core is in a state in which a substrate radiation mode appears.
