Abstract

Hybrid Integration of passive and opto-electronic devices is emerging as a key technology of optical component, because it can increase functionality and reliability of optical device module, lowers the packaging cost and enables automated manufacturing. Main applications of hybrid integrated microphotonic devices are FTTH system and metro access network.

There are various technical issues in hybrid integration modules. It requires connecting an active device to a passive waveguide. The embedded functional devices such as grating, coupler, switch and filter are essential elements to improve optical performance of integrated devices. The package solution for low cost and small size is also required.

We have developed SSC LD(Spot Size Converted Laser Diode) and RMF PD(Reflection Mirror Facet Photo Diode) for connecting to planar waveguide. Simple and cost-effective silica PLC platform with terraced-silica, PLC grating and coupler have been developed. Using these technologies, we have made bi-directional diplexer, triplexer and ECL(External Cavity Laser).
