摘要:
In the semiconductor laser device of the present invention, a semiconductor stacked structure including an active layer comprising a strained multi-quantum well structure is formed on a substrate 1, a cavity length is larger than 1000 &mgr;m but equal to or smaller than 1800 &mgr;m, and a low-reflection film S1 having a reflectance of 3% or less is formed on one facet and a high-reflection film S2 having a reflectance of 90% or more is formed on the other facet. The semiconductor laser module has a structure in which the semiconductor laser device is set to a cooling device constituted by electrically alternately arranging 40 pairs or more of the Peltier elements and holding them by top and bottom ceramic plates and sealed in the package. A grating having a reflection bandwidth of 1.5 nm or less is formed on an optical fiber to be built in.

A semiconductor laser device having two active-layer stripe structures includes an n-InP substrate, an n-InP clad layer, a lower GRIN-SCH layer, an active layer, an upper GRIN-SCH layer, a p-InP clad layer, and a p-InGaAsP contact layer grown in this order, in a side cross section cut along one of the stripe structure. A high-reflection film is disposed on a reflection-side end surface, and a low-reflection film is disposed on an emission-side end surface. A p-side electrode is disposed on only a part of the upper surface of the p-InGaAsP contact layer so that a current non-injection area is formed on an area absent the p-side electrode.

The laser device preferably has cavity lengths greater than 1000 &mgr;m, and compressive strain multi-quantum well active layer, and front-facet reflectivity of less than about 4%. Higher optical outputs and longer cavity lengths are achieved. Preferred modules use these laser diodes with external wavelength-selective reflectors that have narrow bandwidths of 3 nm or less, and which include a plurality of longitudinal mode subpeaks within the bandwidth. Relationships between reflectivity value of the front facet and the peak reflectivity of the wavelength-selective reflector for long cavity length laser device are also disclosed, with the relationships providing higher output power along with a stabilized output spectrum.

A semiconductor laser module has a Fabry-Perot type semiconductor laser device, an optical fiber, and first and second lenses. The tip of the optical fiber, on which the laser beam falls, is askew polished. The optical fiber is fixed in such a manner that the axis of the optical fiber makes an angle with respect to an optical axis of the laser beam. Coatings that avoid reflection are formed on the tip of the optical fiber, and on the first and second lenses.

An n-side electrode, an n-substrate, an n-buffer layer, a GRIN-SCH-MQW active layer, a p-spacer, a p-cladding layer, a p-contact layer, and a p-side electrode are laminated one on top another in that order. Above the n-buffer layer, the GRIN-SCH-MQW layer and the p-spacer layer occupy a narrower area than the n-substrate in a direction that is at right angles to the laser emission direction, wherein the remaining area is occupied by a p-blocking layer and an n-blocking layer. Within the p-spacer layer are embedded a first diffraction grating and a second diffraction grating. Between the first and the second diffraction grating and the p-side electrode is provided a current non-injection area.

A semiconductor laser module including a semiconductor laser device having an integrated diffraction grating configured to output a multiple mode laser beam in the presence of a driving current, an optical fiber configured to guide the multiple mode laser beam to an output of the laser module, and an optical attenuation device configured to attenuate the multiple mode laser beam by an amount sufficient to provide a predetermined output power from the output of the laser module. The optical attenuation device may be an optical coupling lens offset from an optimum coupling position by an amount sufficient to provide the predetermined output power, or an optical attenuator interrupting the optical fiber and configured to attenuate the multiple mode laser beam by an amount sufficient to provide the predetermined output power. Also, a two fiber Raman amplifier having a super large area (SLA) fiber that provides amplification of the signal based primarily on the forward excitation light can also be used to suppress SBS.
摘要:
A cavity length is determined on the basis of a relationship of electric drive power to a range of optical output power over 50 mW, for cavity length to be constant as a parameter in a range over 1000 &mgr;m, so that the electric drive power is vicinal to a minimum thereof in correspondence to a desirable optical output power. If the optical output is 360 mW for example, a cavity length of 1500 &mgr;m is determined to be selected.
