Abstract: The present invention concerns an optoelectronic device D such as a Semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) working in a continuous wave condition and able to amplify high frequencies optical signals. The optoelectronic device D comprise an active zone I (such as SOA) with a slab (3) in a direct bias working in a continuous wave and a taper zone (II) connected to the active zone (I).

Abstract: A distributed feedback laser (DFB) is a type of laser diode in which the active region of the device contains a periodically structured element or diffraction grating, which may include periodic changes in refractive index that cause reflection back into the laser cavity. Conventional DFB lasers used in optical networks may exploit either loss-modulated or index-modulated gratings. In the case of complex-coupling, index-modulated and loss-modulated gratings may be combined together.

Abstract: A device for transmitting and/or modulating in-phase and quadrature optical signals generated by an optical source. This device includes modulators each arranged for modulating intensity of optical signals depending on commands, and at least three main multi-mode interferometers set in series and arranged for transforming in combination a received optical signal with an initial phase state into a final optical signal with a final phase state differing from this initial phase state by an accumulated phase shift chosen from a group including 0, ?/2, ? and 3?/2 and depending from the intensity modulations carried out by the modulators.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the optical transmitter is configured to generate a plurality of optical signals at a corresponding plurality of different wavelengths multiplexed onto an output waveguide. The transmitter includes a first and second converter including different first and second active materials configured to emit light at a first and a different second wavelength, respectively. Furthermore, the transmitter includes a first converter waveguide traversing the first and second material of the first and second converters. The second material is at an output end of the first converter waveguide and the first material is at an input end, upstream of the output end, of the first converter waveguide. The second active material is transparent to the light at the first wavelength and the output end of the first converter waveguide leads to the output waveguide.
