Abstract:
An electronic device comprising a multilayer semiconductor structure formed by a periodic structure having a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer, wherein in at least a portion of the multilayer semiconductor structure, the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer have different conduction types. The first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer have different refractive indexes, and the multilayer semiconductor structure functions as a multilayer reflective mirror. As a result, an electronic device, a surface emitting laser, a surface emitting laser array, a light source, and an optical module with decreased parasitic capacitance can be realized.
Abstract:
A surface-emitting laser apparatus includes: a surface-emitting laser element; and a driving apparatus supplying a modulation-driving current to the surface-emitting laser element. The modulation-driving current is intensity-modulated to vary across a value of a bias current. The number of lateral modes of laser oscillation of the surface-emitting laser element changes from one to three at maximum in accordance with a value of the modulation-driving current. Among changing currents at which number of the lateral modes of the laser oscillation of the surface-emitting laser element changes, if a first changing current is defined at which the number of the lateral mode of the laser oscillation changes from one to two, the driving apparatus supplies the modulation-driving current to the surface-emitting laser element. The modulation-driving current is set so that a value of the first changing current is not between the bias current and a maximum value of the modulation-driving current.
