Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A ring resonator is connected to an optical amplifier. The ring resonator and optical amplifier are contained within the optical path of an optical resonator formed by a first and second reflector. The optical coupler branches part of the light conducting from the optical amplifier to the ring resonator within the optical resonator off to an output optical waveguide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An external resonator-type semiconductor laser element, comprising: an optical amplifier; a ring resonator optically connected to the optical amplifier; a first and second reflector constituting an optical resonator that contains the ring resonator and optical amplifier within its optical path; an output optical waveguide; and an optical coupler that branches part of a light conducting from the optical amplifier to the ring resonator within the…
