Description
一方、近年半導体材料中の電気光学効果を用いた低半波長電圧を有する半導体光変調器が研究開発されている。半導体材料中のポッケルス係数はLiNbO3の20分の1程度と小さいが、半導体光導波路の幅および電極間隔をLiNbO3変調器の1/4および1/30~1/50に狭め100倍以上の電界を光電場に印加することができる。その中で、これまでにInGaAlAs/InAlAs量子井戸導波路を用いることにより2 V程度の低い半波長電圧を有する進行波型半導体光位相変調器が報告されている。
また、図11に示すように、光カプラ9およびクロック抽出器10を用いてレーザ出力光の一部より共振器長に対応した基本周波数の整数倍の周波数のクロック信号を抽出し、移相器11および電気アンプ12を用いてその位相と振幅を調整した後に、抽出したクロック信号で進行波型半導体光位相変調器8を駆動する再生モード同期ループを構成してもよい。
