Abstract:
A semiconductor optical device including an SSC region includes a semiconductor substrate, a lower clad layer grown on the semiconductor substrate, and an upper clad layer grown on the lower clad layer. The semiconductor optical device with an SSC (Spot Size Conversion) area includes a gain area including an active layer grown between the lower clad layer and the upper clad layer to generate/amplify an optical signal; and an SSC (Spot Size Conversion) area including a waveguide layer extended from the active layer positioned between the lower and upper clad layers, such that it performs a spot size conversion (SSC) process of the optical signal generated from the gain area and generates the SSC-processed optical signal. The waveguide layer of the SSC area is configured to gradually reduce its thickness in proportion to a distance from the active layer, and the upper clad layer is etched in the form of a taper structure such that the taper structure has a narrower width in proportion to a distance from one end of the semiconductor optical device having the gain area to the other end of the semiconductor optical device having the SSC area.
Abstract:
A wavelength-locked, integrated optical signal source structure using a semiconductor laser device is disclosed. The optical source structure has a semiconductor laser formed on a semiconductor substrate, and an etched portion coupled with an output end of the semiconductor laser. The etched portion is configured to pass on a first amount of light beam radiated by the semiconductor laser, and to reflect a second amount of light beam by a given reflection angle. A multiple microcavity is formed in a position spaced apart from the etched portion, and the first amount of light beam is incident upon the multiple microcavity. The optical source structure has a first optical detector for detecting the first amount of light beam passing through the multiple microcavity, and a second optical detector for detecting the second amount of light beam reflected by a slanted, reflecting surface portion of the etched portion. The relative change in the light intensity in the first and second optical detectors is measured out to maintain a constant optical wavelength.

Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor laser comprises the steps of sequentially depositing a lower cladding layer, an active layer, a first upper cladding layer, an etching stop layer, a second upper cladding layer and an ohmic contact layer over a compound semiconductor substrate, forming an etching mask over the ohmic contact layer so as to expose channel regions and to shield the ridge regions between the channel regions, performing wet etching to etch the ohmic contact layer and the second upper cladding layer so as to expose the etching stop layer so as to form the channels and the ridges having narrower widths than the parts of the etching mask shielding the ridge regions, and implanting dopant ions into the parts of the first upper cladding layer and the active layer below the channels to form ion-implanted regions by using the etching mask as the ion implantation mask.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing the semiconductor laser device comprising the steps of sequentially forming an active layer, a photo-waveguide layer, a cladding layer, and an ohmic contact layer on an upper surface of an InP substrate; forming a first patterned dielectric layer on the ohmic contact layer; depositing a patterned photoresist on the ohmic contact layer to define a p- electrode stripe layer; forming the p- electrode stripe layer only on a part of the ohmic contact layer; performing an annealing process; etching back the layers until the photo-waveguide layer is exposed, using the first patterned dielectric layer and the p- electrode stripe layer as an etching mask, to form a ridge; depositing a second dielectric layer on the substrate formed thus; selectively removing the second dielectric layer to form a contact hole on the p- electrode stripe layer; coating a bonding pad metal layer on the second dielectric layer and in the contact hole; and coating an n- electrode metal layer on bottom surface of the substrate. Since ohmic contact resistance is lowered, thermal generation and threshold current of oscillation are decreased. As a result, operating characteristics of the laser device can be largely improved.
