DFB as a light source for high-speed, large-capacity optical cable communication
Development of a type semiconductor laser and a λ/4 shift DFB laser is progressing. Since these lasers oscillate in a single axis mode even during high-speed modulation, they can be combined with single-mode fibers to achieve the high-speed,
Large capacity can be achieved.

In a normal semiconductor laser, both ends of an active layer are formed into folds as a resonator, and the planes between both folds form a Fabry Bellows resonator. Light within the active layer is reflected by the inter-fold surfaces, travels back and forth within the active layer, and reaches laser oscillation.

On the other hand, in the case of a DFB laser, a diffraction grating is placed near the active layer, and a resonator is constructed using Bragg reflection of the diffraction grating.

Here, m is the order of the diffraction grating, λ is the oscillation wavelength, no is the equivalent refractive index within the element, and λ is the wavelength of light propagating within the element. The order m of the diffraction grating is usually I or 2. The lower the order, the smaller the grating pitch, making it more difficult to manufacture the diffraction grating, but it is desirable because the coupling coefficient between the light wave and the diffraction grating becomes larger. To give an example of the grating pitch, DF in the 1 and 3 μm band using InP
In the case of a B laser, it is approximately 0.2 μm for a first-order diffraction grating. Therefore, each of the concave and convex portions of the grating has a width of 0.1 μm.

A two-beam interferometry method using a laser beam is known as a method for creating such gratings with a submicron pitch with high precision. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining this method. The light emitted from the laser oscillator 1 is reflected by a mirror 7, separated into two by a beam splitter 2, and then sent to a beam expander 3.
4 and reflected by mirrors 5 and 6, the two light beams overlap and interfere on the substrate 8, exposing the photoresist 9 on the substrate. Here, by appropriately setting the angle of the light beam incident on the substrate 8, it is possible to create a photoresist grating with an arbitrary pitch. With this method, a grating having a pitch up to about 1/2 of the wavelength of the laser beam used can be created with high precision. A diffraction grating for a DFB laser is obtained by etching the semiconductor substrate using the created photoresist grating as a mask.

Various methods have been proposed and experimented with to create diffraction gratings for λ/4-shifted DFB lasers, but basically they are based on the two-beam interferometry method explained earlier. A phase shift section is used, or a negative resist and a positive resist are used. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a typical method of creating a diffraction grating for a λ/4 shift DFB laser using a negative resist and a positive resist, and shows a cross section of the substrate. In this figure, the optical system for two-beam interference exposure is omitted to simplify the explanation. In this method, the part of the negative resist 11 on the substrate 10 that is irradiated with the laser beam becomes insoluble in the developer, whereas the part of the positive resist 12 that is irradiated with the laser beam becomes insoluble in the developer. This method uses the fact that the unevenness of the resist remaining in the image is reversed.

Furthermore, in order to form a submicron lattice, it was necessary to eliminate interfering internal vibrations as much as possible. Furthermore, in order to separate the laser emitted beam into two beams, if there is air fluctuation in one beam, a grating will not be formed, so it is necessary to suppress the movement of air within the interferometer.

The operation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the present invention, a coherent transfer method is used to create a diffraction grating without dividing the beam emitted from a laser oscillator into two by a beam splinter. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the coherent transfer method. When the laser beam 13 is irradiated onto the diffraction grating 14, along with the 0th order diffracted light, ±1
A second diffracted light is generated. Here, when light is incident on the diffraction grating 14 at a plastic knob angle θ6, the +1st-order diffracted light 15 and the 11st-order diffracted light 16 are at an equal angle (
The light is emitted at a Bragg angle θll). That is, in the very vicinity of the exit side plane of the diffraction grating, interference is observed between two light beams that intersect at equal angles to the normal line of the diffraction grating. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
If the substrate 18 coated with No. 7 is placed, these interference fringes will be recorded on the photoresist. Hereinafter, the grating used to generate these two diffracted lights will be referred to as a basic diffraction grating.

In the basic diffraction grating manufacturing procedure described above, it is of course possible to create an electroforming mold of the grating pattern on the substrate and use this mold as a master to transfer the pattern to the photocurable resin. In the above-mentioned method, once a replica is created using photocurable resin, the master is destroyed, but in the method using electroforming molds, the master is preserved, making it possible to mass produce replicas, or in other words, to provide a stable supply of basic diffraction gratings. This has the advantage that the diffraction grating can be manufactured stably.
