Abstract

A super structure grating spatially performs amplitude and phase modulation on a uniform grating using a modulation function to generate a comb reflection spectrum. (N+1) modulation function discrete values are obtained after discretization processing is performed on the modulation function using N thresholds. Each of the (N+1) modulation function discrete values corresponds to one section of optical waveguide whose refractive index is uniform or corresponds to one section of the uniform grating. A reflectivity and a full width half maximum (FWHM) of a reflection peak of the super structure grating is adjusted based on a relationship of a ratio of a length of an optical waveguide corresponding to at least one of the (N+1) modulation function discrete values to a total grating length of the super structure grating, and based on the total grating length of the super structure grating.
