Abstract
An optical integrated circuit module includes an optical integrated circuit element that includes as optical waveguide that is made by using an organic electro-optical material, and a cover that seals, as vacuum sealing, at least the optical waveguide that is disposed on the optical integrated circuit element. In addition, the optical integrated circuit module includes an oxygen getter that is provided in an inner part of the cover and that absorbs oxygen contained in the inner part of the cover.
Claims11
An optical integrated circuit module comprising:
- an optical integrated circuit element that includes an optical waveguide that is made by using an organic electro-optical material;
- a cover that is a cap that forms a vacuum seal of at least the optical waveguide that is disposed on the optical integrated circuit element;
- and
- an oxygen getter that is provided in an inner part of the cover and that absorbs oxygen contained in the inner part of the cover,
- wherein the vacuum seal is such that a temperature of the organic electro-optical material has been equal to or less than 110° C. at a time of a bonding process in which the optical waveguide was bonded by the cover.
An optical communication apparatus comprising:
- a processor that executes signal processing on an electrical signal;
- and
- an optical integrated circuit module that has a structure in which optical modulators each of which modulates light generated from a light source by using an electrical signal that is output from the processor are integrated, wherein
- the optical integrated circuit module includes
- an optical integrated circuit element that includes an optical waveguide that is made by using an organic electro-optical material,
- a cover that is a cap that forms a vacuum seal of at least the optical waveguide that is included in the optical integrated circuit element, and
- an oxygen getter that is provided in an inner part of the cover and that absorbs oxygen contained in the inner part of the cover,
- wherein the vacuum seal is such that a temperature of the organic electro-optical material has been equal to or less than 110° C. at a time of a bonding process in which the optical waveguide was bonded by the cover.
