Abstract: An optical semiconductor apparatus composed of a cap and a base, includes: a metal package including a plurality of openings penetrating through the base from outside to inside, a lead with its end portion protruding to the inside of the base and an insulator covering a side surface of the lead being inserted into each of the openings, and the lead being insulated from the base; an insulating film with its backside bonded to the inside of the base; and a semiconductor component placed on the base or on the insulating film. The insulating film covers the opening up to the vicinity of the side surface of the lead.

Abstract: A gain element and a variable wavelength reflector form a resonator. A wavelength selective element selects a resonance wavelength in the resonator. A beam splitter is provided for monitoring an incident light from the gain element and a reflected light from the variable wavelength reflector. A phase adjustment element is arranged in the resonator. A wavelength-lock control unit locks the resonance wavelength to a desired resonance wavelength by adjusting the phase of the resonance wavelength based on the monitored incident light and by adjusting the variable wavelength reflector based on a ratio between the incident light and the reflected light.
