A electro-absorption optical modulator includes a multiple quantum well composed of a plurality of layers including a plurality of quantum well layers and a plurality of barrier layers that are alternately stacked, the plurality of quantum well layers and the plurality of barrier layers including an acceptor and a donor; a p-type semiconductor layer in contact with an uppermost layer of the plurality of layers; and an n-type semiconductor layer in contact with a lowermost layer of the plurality of layers, the multiple quantum well being 10% or more and 150% or less of the p-type semiconductor layer in a p-type carrier concentration, and in the multiple quantum well, an effective carrier concentration which corresponds to a difference between the p-type carrier concentration and an n-type carrier concentration is ±10% or less of the p-type carrier concentration of the multiple quantum well.

A modulator-integrated semiconductor laser (100) includes a semiconductor laser (101), an electro-absorption modulator (102), and an optical attenuator (103) that are monolithically integrated. The electro-absorption modulator (102) and the optical attenuator (103) are connected in series in a stage succeeding the semiconductor laser (101). A control unit (44) controls the DC bias voltage to be applied to the optical attenuator (103) to increase as temperature of the modulator-integrated semiconductor laser (100) rises.

A wideband electro-absorption modulating (EAM) device is configured to include a ground shield that functions to minimize the spread of an applied AC voltage beyond the limits of the modulator's electrode. The ground shield includes a grounding electrode disposed in a spaced-apart relationship with the modulator electrode along the ridge of the EAM structure, and a grounding termination used to couple the grounding electrode to a suitable ground location. The ground location may be either on-chip (such as the DC ground of the modulator itself) or off-chip (via an off-chip capacitor, with a wirebond connecting the grounding electrode to the capacitor). The use of a ground shield mitigates the effects that changes in the data rate have on effective length of the modulator as seen by the applied data signal.

A broad-spectrum laser for use in a MEMS laser scanning display device is provided. In one example, the broad-spectrum laser includes a laser diode emitter with plural quantum wells each having a different spectral peak. In another example, the broad-spectrum laser includes a laser diode emitter with a tunable absorber to achieve a broadened emissions spectrum. In another example, the broad-spectrum laser includes a laser diode emitter array having plural individual emitters with different spectral peaks.

A waveguide structure (IOO) for a photonic integrated circuit, comprising: a substrate; an active region (102) comprising a diode junction, the active region comprising: a light emission portion (102a) to emit light in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular the first direction; and a light absorption portion (102b) to absorb light emitted from the light emission portion (102a) in the second direction; a first contact corresponding to the light emission portion (102a); and a second contact corresponding to the light absorption portion (102b).

An electro-absorption modulator (EAM) is configured to include an on-chip AC ground plane that is used to terminate the high frequency RF input signal within the chip itself. This on-chip ground termination of the modulation input signal improves the frequency response of the EAM, which is an important feature when the EAM needs to support data rates in excess of 50 Gbd. By virtue of using an on-chip ground for the very high frequency signal content, it is possible to use less expensive off-chip components to address the lower frequency range of the data signal (i.e., for frequencies less than about 1 GHz).

An ambient light rejecting screen used in a laser light source projector, which generates a light with a first wavelength and a light with a second wavelength, is provided. The screen includes a base, a light absorbing layer, a first filter layer and a second filter layer. The light absorbing layer is disposed on the base. The first filter layer is disposed on the light absorbing layer. The crystallization characteristic of the first filter layer corresponds to the light with the first wavelength and generates a reflective light with the first wavelength, and allows the light with remaining wavelengths to pass through. The second filter layer is disposed on the light absorbing layer. The crystallization characteristic of the second filter layer corresponds to the light with the second wavelength used to generate the reflective light with the second wavelength and allows the light with remaining wavelengths to pass through.
