Integrated optical amplification and switching module based on semiconductors

摘要

An optical module (400; 500), which is arranged in an optical transmission path, includes an optical amplifying unit (410) configured with a semiconductor, wherein the optical amplifying unit (410) amplifies light input from the optical transmission path, and an optical element (430) configured with a semiconductor, wherein the optical element (430) propagates the light amplified by the optical amplifying unit (410) to the optical transmission path. <IMAGE>
