ABSTRACT:
An optical integrated circuit and an optical apparatus used in optical communication or an opto-electronics apparatus such as an optical disk recording apparatus, in which various kinds of aberration caused by wavelength variation of a light source when a semiconductor laser is used as the light source. An aberration correcting grating having such grating pitches as to nearly satisfy the Bragg condition preferably with respect to a certain wavelength of the semiconductor laser beam is used. As a result, lowering of incidence (entrance) and radiation (exit) coupling efficiencies of the grating coupler and aberration such as chromatic aberration can be prevented. Even if a multi-mode semiconductor laser is used as a light source, the characteristics of the optical integrated circuit and optical apparatus do not vary largely.
