PURPOSE: An optical coupler is provided to include an upper cladding layer with a pre-set thickness based on the wavelength of an optical signal and the refractive index of the coupler. CONSTITUTION: A lower cladding layer(110) is placed on a substrate(100). A core layer(120) including an optical waveguide and a diffraction grating coupler is placed on the lower cladding layer. A first upper cladding layer(130) is placed on the core layer. The first upper cladding layer includes a thickness which is one quarter a value that the wavelength of an optical signal is divided by the refractive index of the first upper cladding layer.
Abstract:
An interband tunneling intersubband transition semiconductor laser is provided to acquire a high output power with a low cost by having a simple structure having a little number of stacking. An interband tunneling intersubband transition semiconductor laser includes a first cladding layer(150a), an active region structure layer(110), a second cladding layer(150b), and electrodes(130a,130b). The active region structure layer is formed by repeatedly stacking a quantum well layer and a quantum wall layer. The quantum well layer and the quantum wall layer are a heterostructure having a broken bandgap energy, and implement an interband tunneling. The electrodes are formed on a lower part of a semiconductor substrate and an upper part of the cladding layer. When an electric power is applied to the electrodes, an interband resonant tunneling and a subband transition of a carrier in the active region structure layer are consecutively generated.
