摘要:
A visible-light wavelength continuous oscillation laser is disclosed which has an N type GaAs substrate, an N type GaAlAs cladding layer formed on the substrate, and a non-doped GaAlAs active layer formed on the cladding layer. The laser further includes two N type GaAlAs layers, a P type GaAlAs optical guide layer, a P type cladding layer consisting of upper and lower portions, and a ridge section. The N type GaAlAs layers contact both sides of the ridge section. The optical guide layer is sandwiched between the upper and lower portions of the P type cladding layer, is located within the ridge section, and has a refractive index greater than that of the P type cladding layer. The distance between the active layer and the optical guide layer does not depend on the condition in which etching is performed to form the ridge section, but depends basically on the time required to grow crystal.

摘要:
In the semiconductor light emitting device, a high resistance layer formed by mutual diffusion at an interface with the substrate crystal can be eliminated, and a low resistance p-type contact can be realized. In addition, it is possible to reduce the leak current when an internal current-blocking structure is formed. In practice, a compound semiconductor layer offset in composition ratio stoichiometrically is used as the contact layer. Further, when a predetermined element is added to the contact layer, a large amount of doping can be enabled in comparison with when impurities are added to the ordinary GaN based layer. Therefore, a high concentration conductive type layer can be realized while reducing the contact resistance. In addition, when the compound semiconductor layer offset away from the stoichiometric composition is used as the current-blocking layer, the current-blocking efficiency can be improved. Further, when the substrate is irradiated with light having energy slightly higher than that of the band gap of the grown crystal in the photo-excitation MOCVD method in order to eliminate the rough surface, it is possible to realize the p-type conductive of high carrier concentration.

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:
In a nitride compound semiconductor laser including an active layer sandwiched by semiconductor layers of different conduction types on a sapphire substrate, layers of polyimide for current blocking and light confinement are formed on side surfaces of a mesa-type current confining structure with and under the p-side electrode. The laser ensures efficient, uniform carrier injection into the active layer, suppresses higher-order modes other than the fundamental transverse mode, and thereby promises a high reliability ensuring continuous pulsation under a low threshold current and a low operation voltage with low noise characteristics.
