Abstract: An apparatus for simultaneous OTDM demultiplexing, electrical clock recovery and optical clock generation, and optical clock recovery using a traveling-wave electroabsorption modulator. The apparatus includes a TW-EAM and a PLL coupled thereto. The TW-EAM includes a first, a second, a third, and a fourth. The first port is used for an optical input and the third port is used for optical output. The second port is coupled to an input, and the fourth port is coupled to an output, of the PLL. When the first port receives optical input, the second port produces a photocurrent to be applied to the PLL, and the fourth port receives a recovered clock produced by the PLL, and the third port produces demultiplexed data and an optical clock. Using the same configuration, the apparatus produces a recovered optical clock signal.

Abstract: A ring resonator comprises a ring waveguide (12) of a first relative refractive index difference having a narrow part (12a), and an optical waveguide (14) of a second relative refractive index difference smaller than the first relative refractive index difference. The optical waveguide is disposed adjacent to the narrow part to optically couple with the narrow part.

Abstract: At least a one conductivity type nanostructure PS layer whose thickness is controlled, and the opposite conductivity type nanostructure PS layer and a one conductivity type mesostructure PS layer arranged in contact with both these sides are comprised. Since the one conductivity type nanostructure PS layer is formed by anodizing the non-degenerate n-type crystalline silicon layer whose thickness is established in advance, the thickness which can provides a maximum luminescence efficiency can be obtained correctly. Then a semiconductor light emitting device whose luminescence efficiency is improved without increasing an unnecessary series resistance is provided. An inexpensive semiconductor light emitting device having a large light emitting area can be provided, since silicon wafer having a large diameter can be employed as the material for light emission.
