    Abstract: An optical sensor based on a broadband light source and cascaded waveguide filters comprises a broadband light source, an input waveguide, a reference ring resonator coupled with the input waveguide, a common bus waveguide coupled with the reference ring resonator, a sensing ring resonator coupled with the common bus waveguide, an output waveguide coupled with the sensing ring resonator, and two optical power detectors. At least a portion of the sensing ring resonator is influenced by the physical parameter to be measured or in contact with an analyte. The variation of the physical parameter to be measured or the variation of the analyte induces a shift of the transmission spectrum of the sensing ring resonator. By using the cascaded filtering effect of the double resonators, the wavelength shift can be translated into a variation of the total output power. Consequently the physical parameter to be measured can be easily deduced.

    Abstract: A semiconductor laser based intra-cavity optical micro-fluidic biosensor comprises a coupled-cavity semiconductor laser, a 2×2 coupler and a phase adjustment section on one input port of the coupler. The dominant mode of the coupled-cavity laser appears in one output port of the coupler, while the adjacent mode comes out from the other output port of the coupler. The resonant frequency interval of the sensing cavity is slightly larger or smaller than one half of that of the reference cavity. Part of the sensing cavity is the sensing section which is covered by an analyte. The refractive index change of the analyte will cause the lasing mode of the coupled cavity to switch to an adjacent mode, resulting in a π-phase change in the phase difference between the two output ports of the two resonance cavities. By applying the Vernier effect, the power ratio of the two output ports of the coupler will change and the refractive index change of the analyte can be derived. A detection limit of 10−8 RIU or smaller can be achieved.

    Abstract: An integrated single-fiber multi-directional transceiver such as a diplexer or triplexer for FTTH applications comprises at least a laser for transmitting a first signal at a first wavelength, a photodetector for receiving a second signal at a second wavelength, and a 2×2 optical coupler. The 2×2 optical coupler has four ports, of which port 1 connects to a fiber through an input/output waveguide, port 2 leads to the photodetector through another waveguide, port 3 and port 4 are connected with the gain waveguide and are placed inside the laser cavity. Light emitted by the gain waveguide inside the laser cavity at port 3 of the coupler is partially coupled to port 4 as a feedback for the laser and partially coupled to port 1 which couples to the optical fiber to transmit the first signal. On the other hand, the second signal at the second wavelength that is launched into the coupler from the input/output waveguide at port 1 is entirely coupled to port 2 that leads to the photodetector. The design allows both the transmitted and received signals to be directed to their intended destinations with minimal loss.

    Abstract: A semiconductor laser comprises two optical ring resonators, each comprising an optical waveguide electrically pumped to provide optical gain. The two ring resonators have different round-trip optical path lengths, and are coupled to each other through a half-wave optical coupler. The half-wave optical coupler has a predetermined cross-coupling coefficient and a 180-degree cross-coupling phase. The cross-coupling coefficient is substantially less than the self-coupling coefficients in order to achieve an optimal single-mode selectivity of the laser. The first ring resonator has an optical path length such that its resonant wavelengths correspond to a set of discrete operating channels. The second ring resonator has a slightly different length so that only one resonant wavelength coincides with one of the resonant wavelengths of the first ring resonator over the operating spectral window. The lasing action occurs at the common resonant wavelength. In operation, at least a portion of the optical waveguide in each of the first and the second ring resonators are forward biased to provide substantially equal round-trip optical gains. The second ring resonator is tuned by varying the effective refractive index of a portion of the waveguide through an electrical means, resulting in wavelength switching among the set of discrete operating wavelengths as determined by the first ring resonator.

    Abstract: A Q-modulated semiconductor laser comprises a λ/4-phase-shifted distributed-feedback grating. Two isolated electrodes are deposited on top of the grating, and one electrode is deposited on the back side of the laser substrate as a common ground. The first top-side electrode covers a portion of the grating including the phase-shift region, and provides an optical gain for the laser when a constant current is injected. The second top-side electrode covers the remaining portion of the grating away from the phase-shift region, which acts as a Q-modulator of the laser. An electrical signal is applied on the second electrode to change the absorption coefficient of the waveguide in the modulator section, resulting in a change in the Q-factor of the laser, and consequently the lasing threshold and output power. The integrated Q-modulated laser has advantages of high speed, high extinction ratio, low wavelength chirp and low cost.

    Abstract: A monolithic single-mode semiconductor laser comprises three coupled Fabry-Perot cavities in tandem, each separated by a vertically etched air gap of a size that is substantially equal to an odd-integer multiple of quarter-wavelength. The middle cavity is actively pumped to provide gains to the combined cavity laser. The other cavities are substantially transparent and act as an optical filter to select one of the longitudinal modes of the middle cavity as the lasing mode. The lengths of the two passive cavities are substantially different so that a narrow filtering function with a large free spectral range is obtained for optimal mode selectivity.

    Abstract: An active semiconductor device that performs in a substantially polarization independent manner. A quantum well waveguide is intermixed by intermixing atoms across an interface between well and barrier layers. The atoms include at least 2 groups wherein intermixing of one group is at a substantially greater rate than another group. Cations are interdiffused at a greater rate than said anions across interfaces between well and barrier layers. The intermixing must be sufficient to provide strain within layers of the waveguide and sufficient to at least partially degenerate light hole and heavy hole bands of the structure. Preferably intermixing is sufficient to completely degenerate light hole and heavy hold bands to essentially produce a device that is completely polarization independent.
