Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the use of quantum well hybrid and asymmetric double waveguide technology, and the common wet etching and photolithography process to manufacture a monolithic integrated semiconductor distributed feedback (DFB) laser and a mode spot converter. Background technique
[0002] The output spot of the semiconductor laser (LD) used in the optical fiber communication system is small (less than 2 μm in diameter) and has an elliptical shape; while the intrinsic spot of the glass single-mode fiber connected to the semiconductor laser is relatively large (about 8-10 μm in diameter) , in a symmetrical round shape. The difference in the size and shape of the eigenmode field between the laser and the single-mode fiber leads to a large mode mismatch between the two, low coupling efficiency, and small offset tolerance. In order to couple the elliptical spot output by the semiconductor laser to the optical fiber with high quality and high effic...
