Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Reliability of planar lightwave circuit (PLC)-type optical splitter modules has been investigated based on the Bellcore requirements.The module is composed of Y-branching silicabased wqveguides on Si connected to optical fiber with UV-curable adhesives and is packaged with humidity-resistant resine in a metal case.High optical performance such as low loss,low reflection,and temperature stability are obtained with the fiber connection technique.Eleven reliability tests including long-term environmental and mechanical tests have been carried out for more than ten PLC splitter modules.At one of the most severe condition of 75℃ and 90%RH,all of 19 samples we tested have been stable for more than 5000 hours.In other tests,long-term stability and enough mechanical strength of optical characteristics have been asertained in,the PLC splitters.These results indicate that the PLC splitters can be used in practical.
