    摘要: A semiconductor optical amplifier integrated laser includes a semiconductor laser oscillator portion that oscillates laser light having a wavelength included in a gain band and a semiconductor optical amplifier portion that amplifies laser light output from the semiconductor laser oscillator portion. The semiconductor laser oscillator portion and the semiconductor optical amplifier portion have one common p-i-n structure, the common p-i-n structure includes an active layer, a cladding layer provided apart from the active layer, and a common functional layer formed in the cladding layer, and the common functional layer includes a first portion that reflects light having a wavelength within the gain band in the semiconductor laser oscillator portion and a second portion that transmits light having a wavelength within the gain band in the semiconductor optical amplifier portion.
