- FIG. 10 is a plan view showing an example of the structure.
- An optical waveguide device 101 such as S0AG having an optical waveguide 102 connected to each of the optical waveguides 104 and 105 is mounted on the optical waveguide platform 103 having the optical path 105 formed therein. ing.
- the input signal light 107 input to the input optical waveguide 104 is guided through the input optical waveguide 104 and input to the optical waveguide device 101, After being guided through the optical waveguide 102, it is guided through the output optical waveguide 105, and is output as core signal light 108.
- the optical waveguide between the input optical waveguide 104 and the optical waveguide 102 of the optical waveguide device 101 or the optical waveguide is formed.
- a large signal is transmitted to the S0AG itself.
- Optical gain is required.
- an oblique end face structure in which the optical waveguide is bent obliquely to this end face near the light input / output end face, or an active layer There is proposed a window structure or the like that cuts off immediately before the end face.
- the input optical waveguide 114 and the output optical waveguide 115 are inclined at required angles with respect to the incident direction of the input signal light 117 and the output direction of the output signal light 118.
- at least portions of the optical waveguides 112 provided in the optical waveguide device 111 and connected to the input optical waveguides 114 and the output optical waveguides 115 are inclined at the same angle. Configuration.
- the signals guided through the input optical waveguides 104 and 114 and incident on the optical waveguide devices 101 and 111 are not shown.
- Most of the light is a non-guided light component that does not contribute to optical coupling in a relatively large optical waveguide discontinuity between the input optical waveguide and the optical waveguide device.
- This non-guided light component is recombined in the optical waveguide discontinuity region between the optical waveguide devices 101 and 111 on the light emission side and the output optical waveguides 105 and 115, and this is combined with the optical gate element module.
- the non-guided light on the light incident side of the optical waveguide devices 101 and 111 The light travels straight as it is and gradually diverges in the form of a beam in the substrate of the optical waveguide devices 101 and 111 and reaches the opposite end face of the optical waveguide device on the opposite side. For this reason, the non-guided light is coupled to the output optical waveguides 105 and 115 existing in the vicinity thereof at a certain ratio. This phenomenon degrades the optical characteristics of the optical integrated module, especially the ON / OFF characteristics of the signal light in the optical gate element module such as SOAG. Such on-Z off causes coherent beat noise of the signal light, and significantly impairs the characteristics of the optical module.
- Such a problem may occur structurally, especially in the case of an arrayed optical waveguide device, where the exit position of the non-guided light is extremely close to the exit optical waveguide of another channel.
- FIG. 12 when the oblique end face of the output optical waveguide 125 is formed parallel to the oblique end face of the input optical waveguide 124, in practice, this is a point due to manufacturing reasons. Since most of them are made symmetrically, as a result, the propagation axis of the non-guided light between the input optical waveguide 124 and the optical waveguide device 122 is the same as the output optical waveguide 125. It will match the angle that is most easily combined. This leads to remarkable deterioration of the crosstalk suppression characteristics between channels.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an optical integrated module capable of eliminating the influence on optical switching performance of non-guided light generated by discontinuity of an optical waveguide which is essentially unavoidable in hybrid optical integration. . Disclosure of the invention

Diagonal end bent in the same direction with respect to the straight line It is characterized by having a surface structure.
- the optical waveguides 13 2 at the input and output end faces of the optical waveguide device 13 1 are formed to be bent toward the same side with respect to the straight line in the longitudinal direction of the optical waveguide platform 13.
- the input optical waveguide 13 4 and the output optical waveguide 13 5 of the optical waveguide platform 13 3 are also formed to bend in the same direction as the bending of the optical waveguide 13 2. Therefore, the direction of the longitudinal axis of the output optical waveguide 13 5 is aligned with the waveguide axis of the non-guided light of the input signal light 13 7 generated between the input optical waveguide 13 4 and the optical waveguide device 13 1.
- the non-guided light intersects the output optical waveguide 135 at a deep angle that is almost twice the set angle of the oblique optical waveguide. Therefore, the unguided light is output at a deep angle beyond the effective aperture of the output optical waveguide 135. Since the light enters the waveguide 135, the crosstalk component 139 is suppressed from being guided to the output optical waveguide 135. As a result, it is possible to selectively and extremely effectively suppress only the optical coupling efficiency for the non-guided light while keeping the coupling efficiency deterioration for the signal light as small as possible.
