    摘要: A method for manufacturing diffraction grating, in which after forming, on a substrate, one of a negative type photoresist film (an N film) and a positive type photoresist film (a P film) to cover a first region A and the other of the negative type photoresist film and the positive type photoresist film, or the latter film on the former one to cover a second region B, the first region and the second region are subjected to two-beam interference exposure, thereby forming a diffraction grating in which corrugations in the first region and the second region are reverse in phase to each other, through utilization of characteristics of the negative type photoresist film and the positive type photoresist film. Another feature of the present invention resides in that after forming, on a substrate, a structure in which a negative type photoresist film (an N film) is formed to cover only a first region A and the negative type photoresist film is formed on a positive type photoresist film (a P film) to cover a second region B, the first region and the second region of the substrate are subjected to two-beam interference exposure, thereby forming a diffraction grating in which corrugations in the first region and the second region are reverse in phase to each other, through utilization of characteristics of the negative type photoresist film and the positive type photoresist film.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser, which comprises a substrate of InP, an active layer, and two clad layers holding therebetween the active layer, and which is constructed so that the refractive index of the active layer may be larger than the refractive indexes of the two clad layers. In one of the two clad layers, the refractive index of a region adjacent to a radiation region in the active layer is larger than the refractive index of a region adjacent to a non-radiation region in the active layer. The refractive index of the other clad layer is equal to the refractive index of that region of said on clad layer adjoining the radiation region or the non-radiation region. The thickness and width of the radiation region of the active layer are selected so that the semiconductor laser may oscillate in the fundamental transverse mode. A buffer layer may be further provided between the active layer and one of the two clad layers.

    摘要: A distributed feedback semiconductor device is disclosed which has a diffraction grating disposed near a light emitting active layer, a double hetero structure with the active layer sandwiched between n- and p-type semiconductors and n- and p-side electrodes for injection a current into the active layer, one of the n- and p-side electrodes being divided into a plurality of electrodes, and in which a current is injected into the active layer across the n- and p-side electrodes for laser oscillation to obtain output light. A first current source is connected to each of electrodes into which one of the n- and p-side electrodes is divided, and a second current source is connected to the divided electrodes via resistors, for injecting a current into the active layer in a desired ratio. The first and second current sources are controlled in accordance with the light emitting state of the active layer. In operation, a current is injected into the active layer through the divided electrodes while controlling the injected-current density in the active layer to be uniform in the direction of travel of light until the injected current reaches a threshold current at which the distributed feedback semiconductor laser device starts to oscillate, and a current thereafter injected while controlling the injected-current density to be maximum in at least that region of the active layer in which the light intensity is maximum in the direction of travel of light.
