Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A novel wavelength demultiplexer and wavelength division optical switch using arrayed waveguide with linearly varying refractive index distribution by MOVPE selective area growth has been proposed. By placing the asymmetric width of SiO_2 mask pattern on both sides of the arrayed waveguide, the thickness of the each waveguide in the array has hanged gradually. The refractive index of these arrayed waveguides are different from each other, and the light suffers a phase difference in the propagation of the arrayed waveguides. These arrayed waveguides can be used for wavelength demultiplexer consisting of only straight arrayed waveguides. A wavelength demultiplexer using arrayed waveguides in which refractive index varies linearly across the devices was investigated and successful fabrication of GaInAs/InP MQW arrayed waveguide devices was achieved. This time, we report the optical switch using the refractine index change in arrayed waveguide by the thermo-optic effect.
