Abstract:
PURPOSE: An ultra high speed optical signal processor where a saturated absorber and a constant gain optical amplifier are integrated is provided to increase a response time in a high speed optical transmission system and to transmit data without distortion as to an input pulse having a narrow width. CONSTITUTION: A constant gain optical amplifier region corresponds to a diffraction grating(4) formed in an N-type InP substrate(2). An undoped InGaAsP active layer(6), a P type InP clad layer(8) and an InGaAs ohmic contact layer(10) are stacked on an upper surface of the N type InP substrate in sequence. A pair of top metal electrodes(12a,12b) are stacked on an upper surface of the InGaAs ohmic contact layer and are insulated by an etched groove. A bottom metal electrode(14) is stacked below the N type InP substrate. And an anti-reflective thin film(16) is stacked on both sides, and a saturated absorber region and a constant gain optical amplifier region are arranged in parallel on the InGaAs ohmic contact layer.

PURPOSE: A logic element using saturable absorbers is provided to apply the same current to the first saturable absorber and the second saturable absorber, without a change of a path phase difference caused by optical strength of an input signal, thereby alleviating restrictions on an operational input optical strength range. CONSTITUTION: The first saturable absorber(117) inputs power in which the first input signal is synthesized with a reference signal, has a more passing power than an absorbing power if the power is more than the first transparent input optical strength, and has a more absorbing power if the power is less than the optical strength. The second saturable absorber(118) inputs power in which the first input signal, the second input signal, and the reference signal are synthesized together, has a more passing power if the power is more than the second transparent input optical strength, and has a more absorbing power if the power is less than the optical strength. Combiners(114a,114b) combine an output of the first saturable absorber(117) with an output of the second saturable absorber(118).

Abstract:
접촉식 노광장비를 사용하되, 측면-테이퍼 패턴 형성시 야기되는 스트레인을 흡수할 수 있는 패드를 테이퍼 끝단에 연결시킨 마스크를 사용하여 리소그라피 공정을 수행하므로써 그 끝단을 0.6um 정도로 형성한 다음, 습식식각에 의해 0.1um의 매우 균일한 측면-테이퍼 도파로(또는 활성층)을 갖는 모드변환기를 제조하는 방법이 개시되어 있다. 이에 따라, 고분해능 전자선 리소그래피법 및 스테퍼를 사용하지 않도도 되어 제작 비용을 절감할 수 있고, 접촉식 노광 장비를 사용하더라도 종래와 같이 과도한 깊은 습식식각을 수행하지 않아도 되어 측면-테이퍼 패턴 제작의 재현성을 높일 수 있다. 또한 이러한 방법에 의해 제작된 측면-테이퍼 구도의 모드변환기를 광소자와 함께 집적시켜 제작하므로써, 모드변환기의 위치 조절 및 재현성을 높여 수율 증대를 가져올 수 있다.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A light receiver of a DPSK(Differential Phase Shift Keying) method is provided to compensate for a polarized phase difference between light output signals by controlling a length or a width of a curved waveguide. CONSTITUTION: A light splitter(201) divides a received light signal into a first light signal and a second light signal. A light delay waveguide(203) delays the first light signal. A curved waveguide(205) delays the second light signal. The curved waveguide compensates a polarized phase difference in an output end. A light hybrid(207) generates a light detecting signal corresponding to a phase difference between the second light signal and the delayed first signal.
