    摘要: A semiconductor optical device includes a substrate including a waveguide made of silicon and a semiconductor layer joined to the substrate so as to overlap the waveguide and including a diffraction grating formed of a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer having different refractive indices. The waveguide includes a bent portion and a plurality of straight portions that are connected to each other by the bent portion and that extend straight. The first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer are each made of a compound semiconductor. The second semiconductor layer is embedded in the first semiconductor layer and includes a plurality of portions arranged in a direction in which the plurality of straight portions extend. The diffraction grating is positioned above the plurality of straight portions.
