1.Fabrication of Chirped gratings by weighted electron beam exposure and their application to DFB lasers : By combining a field size modulation technique with the weighted electron beam exposure, we successfully fabricated linearly chirped gratings (CGs). Then, we applied them to distributed feedback (DFB) laser fabrication, and observed optical bistability in the CD DFB lasers. The optical power necessary to excite the bistability was found to be one fourth of conventional DFB lasers, and the wavelength range within which the bistability was observed was twice as large as the conventional ones.2.Mass-transported InAsP compressively-strained quantum wire gain-coupled DFB laser fabrication : Mass-transport phenomenon on InGaAsP/InP epitaxial wafers with quarter micron pitch V-grooves was made use of for the fabrication of quantum wire gain-coupled DFB lasers. Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) around 1.55 μm was observed.3.Wavelength trimming in multiple wavelength gain-coupled DFB la … More yer arrays : Multiple wavelength gain-coupled DFB laser arrays were studied and fabricated as a light source for wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication. The multiple pitch gratings were formed by electron beam exposure with field size modulation, and the gain coupling was brought about by absorptive gratings. The four wavelength laser array at 1.55μm band fabricated exhibited uniform threshold current distribution and oscillation wavelength spacing. Disordering experiment of a super lattice layer by a pulsed YAG laser beam was conducted for wavelength trimming.4.Temperature insensitive semiconductor laser by strain compensation : Toward "fiber to the home" and its wavelength multiplexing, we studied reduction of temperature sensitivity in laser diode characteristics. More specifically, we tried to cancel out intrinsic temperature dependence by applying mechanical strain to laser diodes with temperature change through novel heat-sink structure. After remodeling of the heat sink, we packaged laser chips on it and demonstrated feasibility of temperature compensation of oscillation wavelength and threshold current by this method.5.All optical_flip-flop based on bistable semiconductor lasers : We proposed a novel bistable directionally coupled semiconductor laser as an all-optical flip-flop important for future all-optical processing. After confirming its effectiveness through theoretical analysis, an actual device was fabricated by utilizing newly developed electrode separation technique. As a result, all-optical flip-flop operation was demonstrated. Less

1.通过加权电子束曝光制作啁啾光栅及其在DFB激光器中的应用：通过将场尺寸调制技术与加权电子束曝光相结合，我们成功地制作了线性啁啾光栅（CG），然后将其应用于分布式反馈。 (DFB) 激光器制造，并观察到 ​​CD DFB 激光器中的光学双稳态。激发双稳态所需的光功率是传统 DFB 激光器的四分之一，并且观察到双稳定性的波长范围是传统波长范围的两倍。2.质量传输InAsP压缩应变量子线增益耦合DFB激光器制造：四分之一微米节距V的InGaAsP/InP外延片上的质量传输现象V -凹槽用于制造约 1.55 μm 的量子线增益耦合 DFB 激光器。 3. 多波长增益耦合 DFB 阵列中的波长微调：研究并制造了多波长增益耦合 DFB 激光器阵列作为波分复用 (WDM) 光通信的光源。所制作的1.55μm波段四波长激光阵列具有均匀的阈值电流分布和均匀的阈值电流分布。通过脉冲YAG激光束进行超晶格层的振荡波长间隔的无序实验以进行波长微调。4.通过应变补偿的温度不敏感半导体激光器：针对“光纤到户”及其波长复用，我们研究了温度降低。更具体地说，我们尝试通过新型散热器结构对随温度变化的激光二极管施加机械应变，从而消除固有的温度依赖性。 5.基于双稳态半导体激光器的全光触发器：我们提出了一种新型双稳态定向耦合半导体激光器作为全光触发器通过理论分析证实其有效性后，利用新开发的电极分离技术制造了一个实际器件，从而证明了全光触发器操作。
