    摘要: A semiconductor light source system includes a laser diode that is operated in a variable temperature environment and a driver circuit, wherein the driver circuit sets a magnitude of a signal current supplied to the laser diode below an upper limit level that corresponds to a maximum operational temperature of the laser diode. The driver circuit simultaneously sets a relative magnitude of the signal current with respect to a bias current such that a sufficient extinction ratio is achieved in an output optical beam and further sets a relative magnitude of the signal current with respect to the bias current such that a sufficiently small oscillation delay is achieved in the laser diode.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser including a stripe-shaped active layer, a clad region, and a diffraction grating. The stripe-shaped active layer has a thickness in a first direction, has a first energy gap, and extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The clad region surrounds the stripe-shaped active layer, and has a second energy band gap greater than the first energy band gap. The diffraction grating is provided in parallel with and adjacent to, the stripe-shaped active layer. The stripe-shaped active layer has a first portion with a first light propagation constant and with a first dimension in a third direction orthogonal to the first and second directions, and has a second portion with a second light propagation constant and with a second dimension in the third direction. The first dimension and the second dimension are different from each other. The second portion has a length L in the second direction. The stripe-shaped active layer satisfies the condition that a product of .DELTA..beta. and L is an odd multiple of .pi./2, where .DELTA..beta. is a difference between the first and second light propagation constants.
