摘要:
A semiconductor laser device includes: a first cladding layer, which is made of a nitride semiconductor of a first conductivity type and is formed over a substrate; an active layer, which is made of another nitride semiconductor and is formed over the first cladding layer; and a second cladding layer, which is made of still another nitride semiconductor of a second conductivity type and is formed over the active layer. A spontaneous-emission-absorbing layer, which is made of yet another nitride semiconductor of the first conductivity type and has such an energy gap as absorbing spontaneous emission that has been radiated from the active layer, is formed between the substrate and the first cladding layer.

摘要:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor is disclosed. The method involves soaking a semiconductor substrate that consists of SiC for ten minutes in a buffered hydrofluoric acid, thereby etching the oxidized film formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Then, TMA, NH.sub.3, TMG, and hydrogen for carrier are supplied at the rates of 10 .mu.mol/min., 2.5 L/min., and 2 L/min., respectively, to the semiconductor substrate at a temperature of 1090.degree. C. by using MOVPE. A buffer layer that consists of a single crystal AlN and has a thickness of about 15 nm is grown on the main surface of the semiconductor substrate. After lowering the temperature to 800.degree. C., TMA, TMG, TMI, and NH.sub.3 are supplied at the rates of 0.2 .mu.mol/min., 2 .mu.mol/min., 20 .mu.mol/min., and 5 L/min., respectively. A single crystal layer which consists of AlGaInN is thus grown on the buffer layer.

摘要:
Laser light emitted from the wavelength-locked GaN semiconductor laser is collimated through a collimation lens, led through a polarization beam splitter and a ¼ wavelength plate, and converged by a focus lens so as to be radiated on pits formed in an optical disk medium. The signal light from the optical disk medium is collimated by the focus lens, and has its polarization direction turned by the ¼ wavelength plate by 90° relative to its polarization direction before being returned from the optical disk medium. As a result, the signal light is reflected from the polarization beam splitter so as to be converged on the optical detector by the focus lens.
