High power and high sensitivity planar lightwave circuit moduleincorporating a novel passive alignment method

A high-power, high-sensitivity planar lightwave circuit (PLC) module, comprising a laser diode (LD) and a photodiode (PD) surface mounted on a PLC platform, has been realized by a novel passive alignment technique. We used a spot-size transformed LD and a corner-illuminated PD to form a highly efficient optical coupling between the devices and a PLC waveguide. We used the unique marker alignment method to ensure accurate positioning of them. The positioning precision achieved in the lateral direction was within 1 μm for the LD's and within 10 μm for the PD's. The rotational precision was within 0.4° for both chips. We realized high power operation (>8 mW) with a high receiver sensitivity (0.3 A/W). In this paper, we describe a high power, high sensitivity PLC incorporating a novel passive optical alignment technique for LD's and PD's     

Greater than 500-mW CW kink-free single transverse-mode operation of weakly index guided buried-stripe type 980-nm laser diodes

This is the first report of greater than 500-mW CW kink-free single transverse-mode operation of 980-nm laser diodes with a weakly index guided buried-stripe type structure. The device exhibited a kink-free level of 545 mW and maximum optical output power of over 650 mW limited by thermal saturation and showed no catastrophic optical damage, in addition, a currently on-going aging test at 350 mW optical output power at 50/spl deg/C has shown stable operation. Using a can-sealed LD, we also fabricated a co-axial type module with a two-lens system and a lensed-fiber. The coupling efficiency between the LD and a single-mode fiber was calculated to be approximately 78% and we have confirmed 300 mW kink-free fiber output operation. These figures are also the highest reported operation levels for 980-nm co-axial type modules.

Design and Characterization of Taper Coupler for Effective Laser and Single-Mode Fiber Coupling With Large Tolerance

A new method of coupling the light from a laser diode (LD) to a single-mode fiber with large alignment tolerances and without using any coupling lens is presented. A pseudovertical tapered coupler on silicon substrate which has an input aperture of about 100 times the size of the laser waveguide cross section is designed. Results showed that the coupler relaxes the LD placement tolerance and eliminates the use of a coupling lens. The positional tolerance between the LD and taper coupler can be larger than +/- 5 mu m in the xy plane, and +/-1 ^deg in orientation.     

Connection loss reduction by thermally-diffused expanded core fiber

Connection loss reduction in ten fiber connectors prepared by the thermally diffused expanded core (TEC) method has been confirmed. The mode field diameters (MFDs) of conventional single mode (SM) fibers were expanded from 9.8 to 13 mu m by thermal treatment considering the influence of loss increase due to fiber axis misalignment. An average connection loss of 0.15 dB for 4-SM-fiber connectors was realized, which was improved by 0.22 dB compared with previous value of 0.37 dB without thermal treatment. The TEC method promises to reduce the coupling loss, which is caused by lateral offset of multifiber connectors, fiber/LD modules, and fiber/waveguide device modules.<>
