    摘要: Provided is a driving method of a mode-locked semiconductor laser device comprising a laminated structure in which a first compound semiconductor layer, a third compound semiconductor layer having an emission region and a second compound semiconductor layer are successively laminated, a second electrode, and a first electrode. The laminated structure is formed on a compound semiconductor substrate having polarity, the third compound semiconductor layer includes a quantum well structure having a well layer and a barrier layer. The well layer has a depth of 1 nm or more and 10 nm or less. The barrier layer has an impurity doping density of 2×1018 cm−3 or more and 1×1020 cm−3 or less. An optical pulse is generated in the emission region by passing a current from the second electrode to the first electrode via the laminated structure.

    摘要: A semiconductor optical amplifier includes: a laminated structure sequentially including a first compound semiconductor layer composed of GaN compound semiconductor and having a first conductivity type, a third compound semiconductor layer having a light amplification region composed of GaN compound semiconductor, and a second compound semiconductor layer composed of GaN compound semiconductor and having a second conductivity type; a second electrode formed on the second compound semiconductor layer; and a first electrode electrically connected to the first compound semiconductor layer. The laminated structure has a ridge stripe structure. When widths of the ridge stripe structure in a light output end face and the ridge stripe structure in a light incident end face are respectively Wout, and Win, Wout>Win is satisfied. A carrier non-injection region is provided in an internal region of the laminated structure from the light output end face along an axis line of the semiconductor optical amplifier.
