    摘要: The present invention relates to phased-array semiconductor lasers having a radiation angle turnable by oscillating independently and stably between the fundamental supermode and the higher order supermode and switching the radiation angles by utilizing the property that their radiation angles are different.Optical switching and optical scanning, that have been difficult in the prior art, can be made more easily by use of a semiconductor laser having a turnable radiation angle.The objection of the present invention can be accomplished by disposing separate electrodes at the emission stripes and at the gap between the stripes in the phased-array semiconductor laser.Further, the present invention may be accomplished by dividing at least one stripe electrode in order to form electrode regions. When the current is applied to all the electrodes, oscillation occurs in the highest order mode and the beam is emitted in another direction. When the current is applied to only the electrode exclusive of the electrode regions, oscillation occurs in the fundamental mode and the beam is emitted in a direction vertical to a facet.Moreover, the present invention may be accomplished by disposing electrodes outside the stripe regions of the phased-array semiconductor laser so that oscillation occurs in the fundamental supermode when the electric field is applied to the electrodes and in the higher order mode when the electric field is not applied.

    摘要: In a well-known semiconductor laser, a multiple quantum well type active layer consisting of barrier layers and active layers or well layers, each of which has a thickness less than the de Broglie wavelength of electrons, is doped with an impurity, and the impurity density is made higher in the barrier layer than in the well layer. Further, in a case where the multiple quantum well active layer is held between p-type and n-type cladding layers, the well layer is undoped, the part of the barrier layer lying in contact with the well layer is undoped, and the other part of the barrier layer close to the p-type cladding layer is put into the n-conductivity type while that of the barrier layer close to the n-type cladding layer is put into the n-conductivity type. Desirably, the impurity density should range from about 1.times.10.sup.18 to about 1.times.10.sup.19 cm.sup.- 3.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser having such a structure that a laser structure including a laser active region of multi quantum well structure, cladding layers and a cap layer is formed on a substrate, is disclosed in which both end regions of the laser active region in the quantum well layer is converted into mixed crystal by impurity induced intermixing so that a multi quantum well active region is sandwiched between mixed crystal regions, and impurity diffused regions are formed between the surface of the crystal and the mixed crystal regions, to form a current path and to inject carriers into the multi quantum well region in a direction parallel to the laser active layer. Thus, the semiconductor laser can modulate laser oscillation at a very high frequency, and moreover is readily fabricated or integrated.
