    摘要: An InGaAlP NAM structure laser is formed with a double-heterostructure section disposed on an n-type GaAs substrate. The double-heterostructure section includes a first cladding layer of n-type InGaAlP, a non-doped InGaP active layer, and a second cladding layer of p-type InGaAlP. An n-type GaAs current-blocking layer having a stripe opening and a p-type GaAs contact layer are sequentially formed on the second cladding layer by MOCVD crystal growth. A low-energy band gap region is defined in a central region of the active layer located immediately below the stripe opening. A high-energy band gap region is defined in a peripheral region of the active layer corresponding to a light output end portion of the laser and located immediately below the current-blocking layer. Therefore, self absorption of an oscillated laser beam at the output end portion can be reduced or prevented.

    摘要: A double-heterostructure semiconductor laser is disclosed which has a semiconductive substrate of a first conductivity type made of III-V compound semiconductor material, a first semiconductive cladding layer of the first conductivity type disposed above the substrate, an active layer made of a semiconductor film provided on said cladding layer to serve as a light emission layer, and a second semiconductive cladding layer of a second conductivity type provided on the active layer to define a light waveguide channel of the laser. The second cladding layer is made of a compound semiconductor containing indium, phosphorus, and aluminum. A contact layer section is provided on the second cladding layer to cover the light waveguide channel. The contact layer is made of a compound semiconductor material containing gallium and arsenic, and has a band gap discontinuity at a boundary region of the light waveguide channel to form a barrier which serves to effectively seal current carriers in the waveguide channel, while the laser is emitting a laser light. This contact layer may also serve as a current-blocking layer.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a double-heterostructure semiconductor laser which emits a laser beam in a visible light range at ambient temperature. An active layer serving as a light emission layer is sandwiched between first and second cladding layers. The first cladding layer comprises an n type InAlP, while the second cladding layer comprises a p type InAlP and has a mesa stripe shape having slanted side surfaces so as to define a light waveguide channel of the semiconductor laser. Current-blocking layers are formed to cover the slanted side surfaces of the second cladding layer. The current-blocking layers comprise GaAs which is a III-V group compound semiconductor different from the III-V group compound semiconductor (i.e., InAlP) comprised in the second cladding layer. The composition ratio of aluminum in the second cladding layer is set not to be less than 0.4, whereby a Shottky barrier serving to inhibit or suppress a current leak in the light waveguide channel of the semiconductor laser is formed between the second cladding layer and the current-blocking layers.

    摘要: There is disclosed a semiconductor layer which can emit a continuous laser beam in a visible wavelength range. The laser has an n-GaAs substrate. On this substrate, an n-InGaAlP cladding layer, an active layer, and p-InGaAlP cladding layers are sequentially formed, thus forming a double hetero-structure. A mesa-shaped, upper cladding layer is provided, defining a laser beam-guiding channel. A thin p-InGaAlP contact layer and a mesa-shaped, p-GaAs contact layer are formed on the top surface of the upper cladding layer. Two n-type semiconductive, current-blocking layers cover the slanted sides of the upper, mesa-shaped cladding layer and also the contact layer. They are made of the same n-GaAs compound semiconductor material as the substrate.
