Abstract: The present invention relates to a wavelength locking structure for a tunable laser and a wavelength locking method for a tunable laser. According to the present invention, since it is possible to use only one element for measuring the intensity of light, the number of parts is reduced in comparison to methods of the related art, so it is possible to perform wavelength locking economically with a down-sized structure.

Abstract: Provided are a tunable wavelength filter with an embedded metal temperature sensor and an external-cavity type tunable wavelength laser module. In detail, the tunable wavelength filter with an embedded metal temperature sensor and the external-cavity type tunable wavelength laser module achieve wavelength stability by forming a metal temperature sensor using a resistance change of a metal thin film according to temperature on a point on an isothermal layer having the same temperature distribution as the optical waveguide during a process for fabricating the optical waveguide with polymer to accurately measure a temperature of an optical waveguide.

Abstract: Provided is a tunable wavelength laser module including: an external cavity type light source generating broadband light; an optical waveguide; a Bragg grating formed in the optical waveguide; a heater provided above the optical waveguide in which the Bragg grating is formed and adjusting a reflection band of the Bragg grating by a thermo-optic effect; a direction change waveguide region changing direction of optical signals obtained by the adjusted reflection band of the Bragg grating, by a predetermined angle; a 45-degree reflection part transmitting some of the optical signals direction-changed by the direction change waveguide region and escaping from the optical waveguide therethrough and reflecting the others of the optical signals in a vertical upward direction thereby; and a lens making the optical signals reflected in the vertical upward direction by the 45-degree reflection part collimated light or convergent light.
