摘要:
A semiconductor device of the invention is formed so that n-type InP current blocking layers enter the inside of p-type InP cladding layers, i.e., the n-type current blocking layers ride over the upper part of the p-type InP cladding layers, so that a distance between the n-type InP current block layers composing a current blocking region is narrower than a width of the p-type cladding layers contacting with the n-type InP current blocking layers. Thereby, the semiconductor device whose leak current in the current blocking region may be reduced which permits high-output and high-temperature operations may be readily fabricated.

A semiconductor laser device which has a diffraction grating partially provided in the vicinity of an active layer formed between a radiation-side reflection film provided on a radiation-side end surface of a laser beam and a reflection film provided on a reflection-side end surface of the laser beam, and which outputs a laser beam having a desired oscillation longitudinal mode based on a wavelength selection characteristic of at least the diffraction grating. The diffraction grating is formed in isolation with an isolation distance of Ls=15 μm from the radiation-side reflection film.

A diffraction grating is provided in the vicinity of a GRIN-SCH-MQW active layer formed between a radiation side reflection coating provided on a radiation end face of a laser beam and a reflection coating provided on a reflection end face of the laser beam, and on the radiation side reflection coating side. An n-InP layer which covers the upper part of the diffraction grating is also provided, so that the current from the p-side electrode is prevented from being injected to the vicinity of the diffraction grating by the n-InP layer. An n-InPGaAsP diffusion prevention layer forms a non-current injection area so as to suppress alloying with the p-side electrode.

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.

A GaAs based semiconductor laser having a combination of cladding layers including a ridge structure part, and a remaining part which overlays the active layers of the laser, and an etch stop layer sandwiched between the ridge structure part and the remaining part. The remaining part preferably overlies the entire surface of laser active layers and has a thickness “D” which satisfies 1.1×W>D≧0.5×W wherein W is the width of a spot size having a strength of 1/e2 as measured at the laser front facet in a direction perpendicular to the active layers, wherein “e” is the base of the natural logarithm. The semiconductor laser solves the kink phenomenon to obtain an excellent linear relationship between the optical output power and the injected current.
