Disclosed are an optical coupler type filter, and a wavelength stabilizing
apparatus of a light source using the same. The wavelength stabilizing
apparatus includes an optical coupler type filter including a first
waveguide provided with first and second terminals, a second waveguide
provided with a third terminal, a coupling region where the first and
second waveguides are adjacent to each other so as to couple lights, and
a grating disposed in the coupling region, a light source for outputting
light to the first terminal, a first optical detector for detecting
extracted light outputted from the third terminal as a first electric
signal, a signal processor for determining the wavelength of the light
outputted from the light source based on the power of the first electric
signal, and outputting a control signal in the case that the wavelength
of the light deviates from a stabilizing wavelength, and a driver for
controlling the output wavelength of the light source based on the
control signal, wherein the length of a sub-region of the coupling
region, formed between the grating and the first terminal is set to
minimize the power of a recurrent light reflected by the grating and
outputted to the first terminal.
