  • Patent number: 7262905
    Abstract: An optical amplifier includes a first optical path, second optical path, semiconductor optical amplifier, and multi-mode interference 3-dB coupler. The first optical path guides oscillation light. The second optical path guides signal light. The semiconductor optical amplifier causes oscillation on the first optical path. The multi-mode interference 3-dB coupler crosses the first and optical paths in the gain medium of the semiconductor optical amplifier.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 2006
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2007
    Assignee: Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation
