    Abstract: An optical waveguide ridge has a side with a flat portion extending uniformly from a top of the ridge to a surface of a semiconductor substrate, the flat portion being in contact with an exposed surface of the substrate. A p-type electrode extends from the top of the optical waveguide ridge downward in contact with a dielectric film on the flat portion of the optical waveguide ridge. The p-type electrode further extends over the dielectric film onto the exposed surface of the semiconductor substrate where an end of the electrode is a bonding pad.

    Abstract: A semiconductor optical device includes a semiconductor laser region for producing laser light and having a first optical waveguide mesa structure including a first active layer and a diffraction grating, and first current blocking layers adjacent to opposite sides; a light modulator region for modulating the laser light and having a second optical waveguide mesa structure continuous with the first optical waveguide mesa structure and including a second active layer, and second current blocking layers adjacent to opposite sides; and a window region for propagating the laser light modulated by the light modulator region and having a mesa-shaped window structure continuous with the second optical waveguide mesa structure, the mesa width of the window structure being larger than the mesa width of the second optical waveguide mesa structure. The light is prevented from leaking from the window and reaching the interface of the window structure and a burying layer adjacent to the window structure. The laser light is not reflected at the interface of the window structure and the buried layer. The shape of the beam of laser light emitted from the window structure is not distorted, resulting in a satisfactory connection to an optical system.

    Abstract: An optical semiconductor device includes a semiconductor laser diode having a first electrode for receiving a current for driving the laser diode, and a grounding electrode; a modulator for modulating light emitted from the semiconductor laser diode, the modulator having a second electrode for receiving a current for driving the modulator, and a grounding electrode connected to the grounding electrode of the semiconductor laser diode; a first resistor having a terminal connected to the first electrode of the laser diode; a second resistor connected between the second electrode of the modulator and the grounding electrode of the modulator; and a third resistor having a first terminal connected to the grounding electrode of the modulator and a grounded second terminal. Therefore, the laser diode driving current can be made larger when the modulator absorbs the laser light than when the modulator does not absorb the laser light, so that the oscillating wavelength is shortened, resulting in an inexpensive optical semiconductor device that hardly degrades optical pulse transmission performance.
