摘要:
In a semiconductor laser element, an active layer is sandwiched between first-conductivity type and second-conductivity type cladding layers, and a second-conductivity type contact layer is disposed above the second cladding layer with an intermediate bandgap layer interposed between the second cladding layer and the contact layer, the second-conductivity type contact layer having a bandgap different from a bandgap of the second-conductivity type cladding layer, the intermediate bandgap layer having an intermediate bandgap between the bandgaps of the second-conductivity type cladding layer and the second-conductivity type contact layer. The second-conductivity type contact layer has at least a first contact layer, an intermediate second contact layer and a third contact layer stacked in this order and the second contact layer has an impurity density lower than impurity densities of the first and third contact layers.

A semiconductor light emitting device has in sequence on a semiconductor substrate, a multilayer reflection film, a semiconductor layer, and a quantum well active layer. A distance between an upper surface of the multilayer reflection film and a lower surface of the quantum well active layer is 2&lgr;/n or less, where &lgr; is a light emission wavelength and n is an average refractive index of the semiconductor layer disposed in between the multilayer reflection film and the quantum well active layer. A phase difference between a reflected ray of light reflected by the multilayer reflection film and an emitted ray of light from the quantum well active layer is a multiple of 2&pgr;. In an emission spectrum of the semiconductor light emitting device, two troughs caused by interference between the emitted ray of light and the reflected ray of light appear in the both sides of a main peak. Therefore, the troughs are unlikely to match the main peak, and the peak wavelength of the semiconductor light emitting device can be sustained. Thus, the semiconductor light emitting device stably obtains a specified peak wavelength even when there is slight variance in the distance between the upper surface of the multilayer reflection film and the lower surface of the quantum well active layer.

摘要:
A semiconductor laser array device has a relatively wide light-emitting area with many semiconductor lasers and a shielding layer selectively disposed with respect to peripheral regions of the light-emitting area such that the rate of heat emission from the center part can be increased relative to that from the peripheral regions. Temperature distribution on the light-emitting area can thus be made uniform and laser light can be emitted from the entire laser emitting area under a phase-synchronized condition.

In this semiconductor laser device, an InGaP etching block layer 11 as an etching selection layer having etching selectivity for an n-type AlInP current block layer 10, which is a non-optical-absorption layer, is formed on the n-type current block layer 10. Since this etching block layer 11 prevents the current block layer 10 on both sides of a ridge 20 from being etched during manufacture, a contact layer 12 can be prevented from entering gaps between the sides of this ridge 20 and the current block layer 10. Therefore, light oscillating in an active layer 4 is taken out from a device end surface without being absorbed in the contact layer 12. According to this semiconductor laser device, an oscillation threshold current and an operation current can be maintained low, deterioration of differential quantum efficiency can be prevented and reliability can be improved.
