Abstract:
A method for generating terahertz waves using a DFB(Distributed feedback) laser device is provided to change difference between two mode frequencies emitted from a multiregional DFB laser device from a low frequency to a THz region by changing period difference of a diffraction grating. A first diffraction grating is formed in a first DFB region including a lower waveguide(102) on a substrate(101), an active layer(110) formed on the lower waveguide, and a waveguide on the active layer. A second diffraction grating is formed in a second DFB region which is separated from the first DFB region and includes the lower waveguide, the active layer, and the upper waveguide on the substrate. A phase tuning section is formed between the first DFB region with the first diffraction grating and the second DFB region with the second diffraction grating. A first oscillating wave and a second oscillating wave are generated in the first and second DFB regions by supplying a first current to the first DFB region with the first diffraction grating and a second current to the second DFB region with the second diffraction grating. The phases of the fist and second oscillating waves are controlled by supplying a phase control current to the phase tuning section. The first and second oscillating waves with controlled phases are photo-mixed.

CONSTITUTION: The vertical directional coupler switch includes the first and the second waveguide(32,34) having a switching operation induced section(SOIS) arranged symmetrically with equal refractive indexes in cross state and bar state respectively, and also having an extinction ratio enhanced section(ERES) arranged asymmetrically with difference refractive indexes in the above cross state and the above bar state respectively. The vertical directional coupler switch also includes a cladding layer which is inserted between two waveguides and includes a refractive index. The refractive index of the extinction ratio enhanced section is controlled independently by a current injection or an electro-optic effect.

Abstract:
A multiple section DFB(Distributed FeedBack) laser device, a manufacturing method thereof, and a method for generating tera hertz waves are provided to vary a frequency difference of two modes discharged from a multiple section DFB laser device, from a low frequency to a tera hertz frequency by varying a periodic difference of a complex-coupled diffraction grating. A multiple section DFB laser device includes an active layer(110), a first DFB section, a second DFB section, and a phase modulation section. The active layer(110) is formed on an upper part of a substrate(101). The first DFB section is formed on one region of an upper part and a lower part of the active layer(110), and has a plurality of first diffraction gratings. The second DFB section is formed to be spaced apart from the first DFB section, and has a plurality of second diffraction gratings which are formed on one region of the lower part and the upper part of the active layer(110). The phase modulation section is formed between the first DFB section and the second DFB section. The first and second DFB sections have a waveguide(102) which is formed on the substrate(101), a first SCH(Separate Confinement Hetero) layer(109a) which is formed on the waveguide(102) of the lower part of the active layer(110), and a second SCH layer(109b) which is formed on the active layer(110).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A vertical directional coupler switch comprising two regions having a high extinction ratio and an ultra short length are provided which is appropriate for realizing a cross state and a bar state having a high extinction ratio over 30dB at an end of a device and having a very short coupling length. CONSTITUTION: According to the vertical directional coupler optical switch, the first and the second waveguide(10,20) have a coupling region divided into n regions whose refractive indexes can be controlled. A coupling intensity control layer(30) is inserted between the first and the second waveguide, and induces a switching operation of a cross state and a bar state at an end of the above coupling region by varying a coupling length of the above coupling region through a refractive index change. The refractive indexes of the first and the second waveguide and the coupling intensity control layer are controlled independently each other by a current injection or an electro-optic effect.
