    摘要: A light-emitting device includes 16 vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser diodes (VCSELs) disposed like a 4×4 grid, for example, in a sufficiently narrower range than the end surface of an optical fiber. The 16 VCSELs disposed in the light-emitting device emit optical signals in the same direction. Since the VCSELs are disposed with a concentration in the sufficiently narrower range than the end surface of the optical fiber as described above, if the optical signals emitted from the VCSELs are spread, almost all optical signals generated by the light-emitting device are incident on the end surface of the optical fiber and are transmitted through the optical fiber.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser device which allows high speed correction of the position of a laser spot on an optical disk is disclosed. The semiconductor laser device comprises an active layer which oscillates a laser beam when electric current is supplied thereto, and a plurality of independent electrodes for varying the current density distribution in the active layer to vary the intensity distribution of the laser beam to be emitted from an emergent face of the semiconductor laser device. With the semiconductor laser device, by supplying electric currents individually from the plurality of independent electrodes to vary the current density distribution in the active layer, the beam spot position can be corrected within the frequency bandwidth of several tens MHz by direct modulation of the semiconductor laser device. Also a driving method for the semiconductor laser device and a tracking servo system in which the semiconductor laser device is incorporated are disclosed.

    摘要: In a semiconductor laser device according to the invention, a clad layer includes first clad layers, each of which has a greater band gap than an active layer and has a thickness of 0.003 to 0.3 .mu.m, and second clad layers each of which has a lower refractive index than the active layer, and the first clad layers are disposed nearer to the active layer than the second clad layers, respectively. In this structure, the first clad layers confine carriers in the active layer while the second clad layers confine the light in the active layer. Since each of the first clad layers is formed of a thin film, the carriers are hard to move outwardly from the active layer due to the tunnel phenomenon thereof and, even if the lattice constant thereof is slightly different, the first clad layer can be lattice matched to a substrate. For this reason, the materials of the second clad layers can be selected without taking into consideration the size of the band gap thereof. This makes it possible to reduce the oscillation threshold value current density of the laser as well as to improve the temperature characteristic of the laser.
