  • Publication number: 20240128716
    Abstract: To detect deterioration of an SOA and perform feedback control to keep light intensity of output light constant in a configuration in which a DFB laser, an EA modulator, and the SOA are monolithically integrated. A semiconductor optical integrated element includes: a DFB laser that outputs continuous light; an EA modulator that modulates the continuous light; a first multimode interference coupler that inputs the modulated light from a first input port, divides the modulated light, and outputs the divided modulated light from two or more output ports; semiconductor optical amplifiers that are connected to respective output ports of the first multimode interference coupler and amplify each of the divided modulated light; a second multimode interference coupler that has input ports connected to respective outputs of the semiconductor optical amplifiers, multiplexes the amplified modulated light, and outputs the multiplexed modulated light from a first output port; and a monitoring waveguide.
