摘要:
The semiconductor device has a semiconductor structure directly bonded onto another semiconductor structure of a different kind from the former. These two semiconductor structures are arranged in such a way that their crystal structures in a cross section perpendicular to the bonded interface of the two semiconductor structures are different from each other or that their lattice orders are not equivalent. This can be applied to direct bonding of any combination of semiconductor structures in any crystallographic orientation relation. This also allows bonding of three or more kinds of semiconductor structures.

Disclosed is a semiconductor optical integrated device and method of fabricating the device, the device having a plurality of quantum well structures, formed on a single substrate, acting as optical waveguides, the plurality of quantum well structures respectively having different lattice mismatches with the substrate and/or different strains (e.g., respectively compressive strain and tensile strain). The method includes selectively depositing the quantum well structures by, e.g., organometallic vapor phase epitaxy on growth regions of the substrate, the growth regions being defined by insulating layer patterning masks, with a width of the growth regions and/or a width of the patterning mask being different for the different quantum well structures. Each quantum well structure includes quantum well layers of III-V or II-VI compound semiconductor material, the Group III or Group II elements each including at least two elements, one having a relatively large atomic diameter and another having a relatively small atomic diameter. Also disclosed is a light receiver that can independently absorb TE-mode and TM-mode light in series, which can be used in a polarized-wave diversity receiver for coherent optical communication.

摘要:
A semiconductor optical device having a region in which semiconductor or carriers in the semiconductor and light are interact, for example, an active region for a semiconductor laser, an optical wave guide region of an optical modulator, etc., includes a quantum well structure having a well region and a barrier region. The semiconductor optical device is remarkably improved with the degree of design freedom as it relates to parameters such as thickness and selection of material without deteriorating the quantum effect, by introducing a super lattice super-layer structure into the barrier region of the quantum well structure or defining the strain for the well region and the barrier region.
摘要:
A tunable semiconductor laser device has an active region for generating light, and a feedback region which is optically coupled with the active region and includes a perturbation portion having non-uniform perturbation period. In this semiconductor laser device, the light intensity distribution in the feedback region is changed to vary the degree of coupling of light propagated in the feedback region with a desired part of the perturbation portion, thereby varying the wavelength of emitted light.
摘要:
A wavelength-tunable semiconductor laser having an active part and an external waveguide part is disclosed. The external waveguide part has a diffraction grating, such as a distributed Bragg reflector, and a quantum well structure optically coupled to the diffraction grating, together with electrodes for impressing an electric field to the quantum well structure. By applying the electric filed to the quantum well structure, the refractive index in the optically coupled diffraction grating/quantum well structure, and light oscillation wavelength in the external waveguide part, can be varied.
