A gallium nitride-based semiconductor optical device is provided that includes an indium-containing gallium nitride-based semiconductor layer that exhibit low piezoelectric effect and high crystal quality. The gallium nitride-based semiconductor optical device 11a includes a GaN support base 13, a GaN-based semiconductor region 15, and well layers 19. A primary surface 13a tilts from a surface orthogonal to a reference axis that extends in a direction from one crystal axis of the m-axis and the a-axis of GaN toward the other crystal axis. The tilt angle A OFF is 0.05 degree or more to less than 15 degrees. The angle A OFF is equal to the angle defined by a vector VM and a vector VN. The inclination of the primary surface is shown by a typical m-plane S M and m-axis vector VM. The GaN-based semiconductor region 15 is provided on the primary surface 13a. In the well layers 19 in an active layer 17, both the m-plane and the a-plane of the well layers 19 tilt from a normal axis A N of the primary surface 13a. The indium content of the well layers 19 is 0.1 or more.

A semiconductor diode laser has a characteristic output with a single mode vertical farfield divergence. The semiconductor diode laser includes a waveguide (103) with a first refractive index and a quantum well (104) embedded in the center of the waveguide. On one side of the waveguide (103) sits a p-type cladding layer (105) with a second refractive index smaller than the first refractive index.

A method for improving the efficiency for an optoelectronic device, such as semiconductor lasers, Superluminescence Light Emitting Diodes (SLDs), Gain Chips, optical amplifiers is disclosed, see Fig. 4B. In accordance with the principles of the invention, at least one blocking layer (70) is interposed at the interface between materials composing the device. The at least one blocking layers creates a barrier that prevents the leakage of electrons from a device active region contained in the waveguide region, to a device clad region (66). In one aspect of the invention, a blocking layer (70) is formed at the junction of the semiconductor materials having different types of conductivity. The blocking layer prevents electrons from entering the material of a different polarity. In another aspect of the invention, a low-doped or undoped region (64) is positioned adjacent to the blocking layer (70) to decrease optical losses.
摘要:
A transverse Bragg resonance waveguide (14) is comprised of a waveguiding channel (22), and on at least two opposing sides of the channel two periodic index media (24); and a means for providing gain in the periodic index media. In one embodiment the waveguiding channel is planar and is sandwiched on two opposing sides by the periodic index media. In another embodiment the waveguiding channel is cylindrical and is surrounded by the periodic index media. The means for providing gain in the periodic index media is electrical or optical pumping. The periodic index media comprises a periodic lattice (18) of regions having an index of refraction distinct from the channel, such as an array of transverse holes (16) defined in a planar semiconductor substrate in which the channel is also defined, or an array of longitudinal holes defined in a cylindrical semiconductor fiber in which the channel is also longitudinally defined.
