なる。(Prior Art) A semiconductor laser is an optical signal source in an optical communication system, and the reflected light from the end face of an optical fiber coupled to the semiconductor laser, an optical switch multiplexer/demultiplexer, etc., or a connection point between optical fibers is reflected from the semiconductor laser. If re-injected, the operating characteristics will be significantly degraded. Therefore, an optical isolator that prevents such reflected light from entering the semiconductor laser again is one of the important devices for improving the stability and reliability of optical communication systems. Generally, an optical isolator is constructed by arranging a polarizer and an analyzer at both ends of a crystal having a Faraday effect so that their principal axes are inclined at 45 degrees to each other. (For example, see the description on pages 547 to 571 of Hiroshi Hirayama's "Optical Communication Handbook" (Kagaku Shinbunsha Co., Ltd., August 1984).) With this configuration, for example, When linearly polarized light in such a direction is incident, the polarized light emitted from the optical isolator becomes linearly polarized light whose principal axis is inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the linearly polarized light of the incident light.

困難であった。(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In general, in an optical waveguide-type optical switch, multiplexer/demultiplexer, or other leading waveguide device, the polarization of the light propagating through it is within the cross section of the waveguide of the optical waveguide device. Good dynamic characteristics are obtained in the case of linearly polarized light having its principal axis in a direction parallel or perpendicular to. Further, generally, the polarized light emitted from a semiconductor laser is linearly polarized light whose main axis is parallel to the substrate surface. When such an optical waveguide device and a semiconductor laser are coupled via an optical isolator to obtain good dynamic characteristics, the main axis of the linearly polarized light of the output light of the optical isolator is aligned with the incident light as described above. Since the optical waveguide device is inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the main axis of linearly polarized light, it is necessary to arrange the optical waveguide device at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the semiconductor laser, which has the disadvantage of complicating the structure. Furthermore, since they had to be arranged at an angle of 45 degrees, it was difficult to integrate them on the same substrate.

As mentioned before, the light becomes linearly polarized light in a direction inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the incident light, and enters the half-wave plate. Therefore, the light is converted into linearly polarized light having a principal axis in a specific direction determined by the direction of the principal axis of the half-wave plate, which generates a phase difference corresponding to the half-wave length by the half-wave plate. Here, the direction of the principal axis of the converted linearly polarized light is, if the principal axis of the half-wave plate is on the bisector of the angle formed by the principal axis of the analyzer and the principal axis of the polarizer,
The direction is the same as the linearly polarized light of the incident light. Furthermore, if the principal axis of the half-wave plate is on the bisector of the angle formed by the principal axis of the analyzer and the axis perpendicular to the principal axis of the polarizer, the direction is perpendicular to the principal axis of the linearly polarized light of the incident light. On the other hand, the reflected light to the optical isolator is blocked by the Faraday rotation method of the optical isolator, as in the conventional case.

Thereafter, a waveguide type optical switch 7 made of lithium niobium (LiNbO2) is connected in parallel to the semiconductor laser 4.

The linearly polarized light has its principal axis rotated in one direction by the crystal 1, is converted into linearly polarized light having a principal axis that coincides with the direction of the principal axis of the analyzer 3, and is emitted from the analyzer 3. Up to this point, the linearly polarized light is treated similarly to a conventional optical isolator. Immediately thereafter, the polarized light is polarized by a half-wave plate 6.
By creating a phase difference only for the half-wave component, the main axis is rotated in the same direction as the direction of rotation received by the crystal 1, and the light is emitted. That is, linearly polarized light whose main axis is inclined by 90' with respect to the main axis of the linearly polarized light that is the light emitted from the semiconductor laser 4 is emitted from the half-wave plate 6 . Therefore, since linearly polarized light having a principal axis in a direction perpendicular to the substrate surface is incident on the waveguide optical switch 7 within the cross section of the waveguide, the waveguide optical switch 7 exhibits good dynamic characteristics. In this way, since the semiconductor laser 4 and the waveguide optical switch 7 can be arranged in parallel, the structure of the coupling system is simplified. For example, since the semiconductor laser 4 and the waveguide optical switch 7 can be arranged in parallel on the same substrate, integration of the coupling system becomes easy.

よい。In this example, the case where the emitted light from the semiconductor laser is converted into directly polarized light having the main axis in the direction perpendicular to the substrate surface within the cross section of the waveguide has been described. The half-wave plate 6 may be arranged with its principal axis in a desired direction so that it is converted into directly polarized light having its principal axis in a direction parallel to the surface. This can be done, for example, by aligning the direction of the principal axis of the half-wave plate with the bisector of the angle formed by the principal axis of the polarizer and the principal axis of the analyzer, as shown in FIG. 2(b).
