Monolithically integrated circuit with DFB laser diode, optical switch and waveguide connections

摘要

Monolithically integrated circuit with a DFB laser diode, an optical switch and waveguides, which are constructed as a web, as well as an arrangement of the laser diode with respect to the waveguides which is such that the radiation generated in the laser diode during operation of the circuit is coupled by butt coupling into a part of the waveguide adjoining the laser diode longitudinally and aligned in the longitudinal direction of the laser diode, and the optical switch is integrated into the web of a waveguide.
