Abstract: A monolithic optoelectronic device has a spot-size converter optically connected to a waveguide. The overclad extending over the core of the waveguide is thinner and differently doped than the overclad of the spot-size converter. This structure can be made by applying a process of etching and enhanced selective area regrowth to create regions of the overclad of different thickness or doping. The spot-size converter core is made of a different material than the waveguide core by using etching and enhanced selective area regrowth.

Abstract: A monolithic optoelectronic device has a spot-size converter optically connected to a waveguide. The overclad extending over the core of the waveguide is thinner and more highly doped that the overclad of the spot-size converter. This structure can be made by applying a process of selective etching and enhanced regrowth to create selective regions of the overclad of different thickness or doping.

Abstract: The invention concerns optoelectronic circuits for an optical wavelength multiplexing system, the circuits being constructed with optical couplers (11; 39.2, 39.4) each having four branches (1,2,3, 4; 39.1, 39.3, 2.times.39.5; 2.times.39.6, 39.3, 39.7). Electrical and optical crosstalk is minimized both in integrated (FIG. 1) and hybrid (FIG. 5) constructions. To this end, photo diodes (6', 6"; 36) and laser diodes (5; 38) are each disposed on opposite sides of the couplers (11; 39.2, 39.4) and mutually decoupled by wavelength-selective arrangements of gratings (8, 10', 10") or filter plates (35). The circuits can be designed for bidirectional operation (FIG. 1) and for cascadable modules for multiplexers/demultiplexers with an add-drop function (5) and enable transmission and reception to be carried out simultaneously.
