Abstract :
Low cost laser diode modules are crucial issues for optical access network. The narrow beam of the laser diode is inevitable for passive alignment between a laser and a single mode fiber (SMF) or a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) in hybrid integration scheme in the low cost laser module for optical access network. The narrow beam of laser diode can be obtained by spot size converter which increases the mode field diameter using passive waveguide in output facet of laser diodes. The passive waveguides for spot size converter were fabricated by butt-joint selective area growth in order to optimize each region independently.
