Provided are a semiconductor laser diode and a method of manufacturing the same. The semiconductor laser diode includes a lower cladding layer disposed on a substrate; a ridge including an optical waveguide layer, an active layer, an upper cladding layer, and an ohmic contact layer, which are sequentially stacked on the lower cladding layer, and having a predetermined width, which is obtained by performing a channel etching process on both sides of the ridge; an oxide layer disposed on surfaces of the upper and lower cladding layer to control the width of the ridge; a dielectric layer disposed on left and right channels of the ridge; an upper electrode layer disposed on the entire surface of the resultant structure to enclose the ridge and the dielectric layer; and a lower electrode layer disposed on a bottom surface of the substrate. The method is simpler than a conventional process of manufacturing a semiconductor laser diode. Also, by controlling a wet oxidation time, the width of a ridge can be freely controlled and an ohmic contact layer can be automatically formed.

Provided are a quantum dot laser diode and a method of manufacturing the same. The method of manufacturing a quantum dot laser diode includes the steps of: forming a grating structure layer including a plurality of gratings on a substrate; forming a first lattice-matched layer on the grating structure layer; forming at least one quantum dot layer having at least one quantum dot on the first lattice-matched layer; forming a second lattice-matched layer on the quantum dot layer; forming a cladding layer on the second lattice-matched layer; and forming an ohmic contact layer on the cladding layer. Consequently, it is possible to obtain high gain at a desired wavelength without affecting the uniformity of quantum dots, so that the characteristics of a laser diode can be improved.

A distributed feedback (DFB) quantum dot semiconductor laser structure is provided. The DFB quantum dot semi-conductor laser structure includes: a first clad layer formed on a lower electrode; an optical waveguide (WG) formed on the first clad layer; a grating structure layer formed on the optical WG and including a plurality of periodically disposed gratings; a first separate confinement hetero (SCH) layer formed on the grating structure layer; an active layer formed on the first SCH layer and including at least a quantum dot; a second SCH layer formed on the active layer; a second clad layer formed on the second SCH layer; an ohmic layer formed on the second clad layer; and an upper electrode formed on the ohmic layer. Accordingly, an optical WG is disposed on the opposite side of the active layer from the grating structure layer, thereby increasing single optical mode efficiency. And, an asymmetric multi-electrode structure is used for applying current, thereby maximizing purity and efficiency of the single mode semiconductor laser structure.

Provided is a self-oscillation communication module in which an optical device, a solar battery, and a radio frequency (RF) device are monolithic-integrated. When an active layer of the optical device contains In(Ga)As quantum dots, the optical device can emit light ranging from 800 to 1600 nm and transmit signals at a high speed of 20 Gbps or higher. Since a light absorption layer of the solar battery is formed of InGa(Al)P which has a higher bandgap than silicon and high visible light absorptivity, the solar battery can generate a large current even with a very small light reception area. Therefore, the self-oscillation communication module can always operate using the solar battery without an external power source even in polar regions and deserts and can perform optical communication or high-frequency wireless communication with a wide frequency range.
