Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor optical element having an active layer containing quantum dots, in which density of the quantum dots in a resonator direction in a portion of the active layer in which density of photons is high, relative to the density of the quantum dots in a portion of the active layer in which the density of photons is relatively low, includes forming the quantum dots in the active layer so that the distribution density is uniform in a resonator direction; and diffusing or implanting an impurity non-uniformly in the resonator direction in the active layer in which quantum dots are uniformly distributed, thereby disordering some of the quantum dots and forming a non-uniform density distribution of the quantum dots in the resonator direction in the active layer.
Abstract:
A semiconductor optical element has an active layer including quantum dots. The density of quantum dots in the resonator direction in a portion of the active layer in which the density of photons is relatively high is increased relative to the density of quantum dots in a portion of the active layer in which the density of photons is relatively low.

Substantially S-shaped optical waveguides are embedded in a semiconductor substrate, and at least two optical waveguide returning parts are interposed between the input and output ends of the waveguides. Each of the optical waveguide returning parts includes a multiplexing portion. A reflecting part is located on a rear end side of the multiplexing portion of each optical waveguide returning part. Thus, the length between input and output ends of the waveguides can be reduced, suppressing bending loss, and achieving a high speed and small size integrated optical device.
