Abstract

To provide a PLC and the like, which can improve the optical coupling efficiency by coupling an optical element to a light waveguide part without having a gap. The PLC includes a light waveguide part and an optical element mount part. The light waveguide part has a lower clad layer, a core layer, and an upper clad layer formed on a part of a silicon substrate as a substrate. The optical element mount part has an LD, which is to be optically coupled at the light waveguide end face as an end face of the light waveguide, loaded on the silicon substrate. At the light waveguide end face, an end face of the lower clad layer is recessed with respect to an end face of the core layer and an end face of the upper clad layer towards a direction away from the LD.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a planar optical wave circuit having an optical waveguide member, an optical element mounting member, and the like on a substrate. Hereinafter, "planar lightwave circuit" is referred to as PLC for short. Background technique [0002] As an optical transceiver used on the market in the optical access industry, there are micro-optical device-type modules equipped with LD (laser diode), PD (photodiode), thin-film filter, lens, etc., and by fabricating on a silicon substrate A PLC module composed of a quartz waveguide and LD, PD, etc. installed on its surface. Both types have advantages and disadvantages. However, since the latter does not require adjustment of the optical axis while monitoring the light output, it is advantageous in terms of cost and transportation. The mounting method used in the latter PLC modules is often referred to as passive alignment packaging. Using the passive alignment package, positioning ac...
