    摘要: A device is made up of an active structure attached to a substrate, the active structure having a facet through which light couples between the active structure and another structure attached to the substrate; and an active region comprising a quantum well region that includes a sub-region, adjacent the facet, configured to undergo QWI in response to heat. The active structure also contains a heating element, positioned close to the facet and operable such that heat generated by the heating element raises a temperature of the sub-region of the active region near the facet high enough to activate QWI in that sub-region, in turn causing a reduction in optical absorption, without raising temperatures in any other portion of the active region enough to cause significant thermal stress at any interface between the substrate and the active structure.

    摘要: An optical functional device includes: first and second optical couplers each including a multi-mode interferometer waveguide portion having a first end portion and a second end portion, two units of first input/output ports and two units of second input/output ports; and first and second arc-shaped waveguides each optically connecting one of the first and second input/output ports of the first and second optical coupler and one of the first and second input/output ports of the second optical coupler, respectively. Further, the first optical coupler, the second optical coupler, the first arc-shaped waveguide, and the second arc-shaped waveguide constitute a ring resonator, and each of the multi-mode waveguide portions of the first optical coupler and the second optical coupler have a narrow portion, an average width of the narrow portion in a longitudinal direction being narrower than widths at the first end portion and the second end portion.

    摘要: A laser capable of reducing the difficulty of a wavelength tuning process, a fabrication method therefor, and a laser device. The laser comprises: an active light-emitting structure used for emitting light; a silicon-based structure which is bonded to the active light-emitting structure, and which comprises a silicon-based waveguide and at least two composite gratings, wherein the composite gratings are opposite to the active light-emitting structure and are formed in the silicon-based waveguide. Each composite grating comprises one primary grating and a plurality of secondary gratings, the secondary gratings are periodically arranged to form the primary grating, and the primary gratings in at least a portion of the composite gratings have different grating periods from that of the primary gratings in other composite gratings. The silicon-based structure and the active light-emitting structure form at least two laser units, and each laser unit corresponds to one composite grating.
