摘要: In a waveguide having a given Δ, a low-loss waveguide bend is realized while the curvature radius is kept small. In an optical waveguide in which a first waveguide and a second waveguide are connected, a clothoid tapered waveguide bend is inserted between the first waveguide and the second waveguide. In the clothoid tapered waveguide bend, the waveguide width continuously changes from a first waveguide width at a connection point of the first waveguide to a second waveguide width at a connection point of the second waveguide, the curvature radius continuously changes from a first curvature radius at the connection point of the first waveguide to a second curvature radius at the connection point of the second waveguide, the first waveguide width and the second waveguide width are different from each other, and the first curvature radius and the second curvature radius are different from each other.

摘要: A wavelength monitoring circuit obtains a light output proportional to only an input optical signal, independent of wavelength, by adding a light split circuit to the configuration in the related art, or changing the light split circuit to a light trifurcation circuit. In addition, wavelength monitoring with high accuracy is possible while improving the resistance to noise. The extraction of the light output proportional to only the input optical signal is performed by a light split circuit for input light at the top stage of the wavelength monitoring circuit or a light split circuit for interference in a stage in the middle of the circuit. The changed light split circuit causes the MZI included in the wavelength monitoring circuit to operate in a state of losing the balance of the configuration or the optical signal level, and increases the signal level near the bottom portion of the transmission characteristics.

摘要: Provided is a variable wavelength filter having a wide variable wavelength range. In the variable wavelength filter, a slab waveguide that is a component of an arrayed-waveguide grating has a groove into which a resin is inserted. The groove intersects with a plurality of line segments A joining a place of connection between an input light waveguide and the slab waveguide to places of connection between respective array waveguides and the slab waveguide. The groove is formed such that a total length LA of an intersection of the groove and each of the line segments A monotonously increases or decreases between the adjacent line segments A with a difference in the total length LA between the adjacent line segments A being constant.

摘要: The invention provides a planar optical waveguide circuit capable of preventing part of the input signal light that has not been combined in the waveguide and propagates as leaked light from interfering with the output signal. A planar optical waveguide circuit having an optical waveguide embedded in a cladding layer includes: a plurality of parallel output optical waveguides configured to emit light from a same end face; a groove having a reflective interface formed at an angle of +45 degrees relative to the output optical waveguides and configured to reflect leaked light propagating in the cladding layer; and a groove having a reflective interface formed at an angle of −45 degrees, the reflective interface formed at an angle of +45 degrees, the output optical waveguide, and the reflective interface formed at −45 degrees being arranged repeatedly in that order.

摘要: An optical switch is configured by providing a planar lightwave circuit layer on a top surface of a Si substrate. The circuit layer forms, on the top surface of the substrate, an optical waveguide including an underclad layer, an optical waveguide core, and an overclad layer. The optical waveguide is provided to have a structure configuring a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A heater is provided at a position just above an arm of the core on the top surface of the clad layer, and power supply electric wires are electrically connected to both ends of the heater. In a local portion including an interface between the clad layer and the top surface of the substrate, trench structure portions as concave grooves are provided.

摘要: A wavelength monitoring apparatus includes a wavelength monitoring circuit. The wavelength monitoring circuit includes: a split circuit that splits an input optical signal into two; an optical delay circuit that applies a delay time difference to the two split optical signals; and a two-input two-output optical multiplexer/demultiplexer circuit that outputs a result of applying multiplexing interference to the optical signals to which the delay time difference has been applied. The wavelength monitoring apparatus further includes photoelectric conversion elements that perform photoelectric conversions on the two optical signals output from the wavelength monitoring circuit so as to output electrical signals. The wavelength monitoring apparatus is configured to obtain the wavelength of the optical signal, by calculating a ratio between two electrical outputs of the photoelectric conversion elements and referring to a correspondence table indicating wavelengths of optical signals input to the wavelength monitoring circuit and ratios between electrical outputs.

摘要: The positions at which electrode pads are arranged can be made more flexible, and electrical interconnects to be installed can be reduced. In addition, the degree of integration of a chip increases, making it possible to realize a large-scale device (optical switch etc.). In an optical module of the present invention, an interposer (an electrical connection intermediary component with electrode pins attached onto upper and lower faces in an array) is laid over a chip that includes a device configured by using a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) fixed onto a fixing metal plate, and a control substrate for driving the device is laid over the interposer. These components are mechanically fixed by a fixing screw or the like, and the electrode pads of the chip and the control substrate are connected to each other via the interposer.
