PURPOSE: A method for implementing an electro-optic wavelength convertor by using a horizontal coupling of semiconductor laser and a semiconductor optical amplifier is provided to secure a wide range of input power since the method does not need a conventional Mach-Zender interferometer structure, thereby utilizing a characteristics of a conventional semiconductor laser such as a variable wavelength laser diode. CONSTITUTION: A method for implementing an electro-optic wavelength convertor by using a horizontal coupling of semiconductor laser and a semiconductor optical amplifier includes steps of etching end portions(100a,100b) of at least one of a first and a second waveguides(100,200), anti-reflection coating the end portions(100a,100b) and dividing the first and the second waveguides(100,200) by cleaving to thereby obtain a divided reflection surface and a divided anti-reflection surface, respectively. An active laser provided thereon with the first and the second waveguides(100,200) utilized in the method is made of InGaAsP and constructed into a multi-quantum well structure.

PURPOSE: A method for generating a large area holographic grating and an apparatus thereof are provided, which fabricates a large area grating below an effective area of a lens as using an optical system of small caliber. CONSTITUTION: A light projected by an ultraviolet ray laser(10) of a single wavelength is focused to a pin hole(14) with an object lens(12) and then passes through a spatial lens removing noise in the air, and then the beam extended using a collimating lens(16) and passes through an inverse Gaussian transparent filter(22) and is irradiated to a sample(18) in parallel. The sample is located to have an angle to a path of the light, and a mirror(20) is attached to the sample so that a reflected light has a specific angle with the incident light to control an interval of an interference pattern.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for locally forming a different band gap in a quantum well by a dielectric-semiconductor composite cover layer is provided to regulate a degree of disorder of the quantum well. CONSTITUTION: The method begins with growing an InGaAs/InGaAsP quantum well substrate by a chemical beam epitaxy technique. Next, a dielectric thin layer made of such as SiO2 or SiNx is formed as a cover layer on the quantum well substrate by a plasma-enhanced chemical deposition technique. After a heat treatment step is carried out at a temperature of 600 - 800°C for 4 - 16 minutes, the dielectric thin layer is removed. In addition, InP, InGaAs or InGaAsP is used as a semiconductor cover layer.
