    摘要: A semiconductor laser device includes: an active layer; upper waveguide layers and a lower waveguide layer sandwiching the active layer therebetween; upper and lower cladding layers sandwiching the active layer and the upper and lower waveguide layers therebetween; and a current-narrowing layer defining a current-injection region for injecting current to the active layer, wherein a diffraction grating having a periodical structure in a resonance cavity direction is buried in any one of the waveguide layers, the diffraction grating being present in at least a part of the current-injection region; and the waveguide layer in which the diffraction grating is buried and the cladding layer adjoining to that waveguide layer forms an interface which is substantially flat in the resonance cavity direction. With the constitution, a waveguide structure which has a diffraction grating offering a higher flexibility in design and manufacture in terms of the coupling efficiency is realized, thereby easily providing a dynamic single-mode semiconductor laser device with higher reproducibility, yield and reliability.

    摘要: Optical guide layers are formed on both faces of the active layer, respectively, which optical guide layers have a band gap wider than that of the active layer, an n-type cladding layer and a p-type cladding layer respectively formed so as to sandwich the active layer and the optical guide layers therebetween, which cladding layers have a band gap wider than those of the optical guide layers, and carrier blocking layers are respectively formed between the active layer and the optical guide layers, which carrier blocking layers have a band gap wider than those of the active layer and the optical guide layers. The refractive index of the p-type cladding layer is lower than that of the n-type cladding layer. With such constitution inner losses are limited to a low level, as free carrier absorption is reduced, and the electric and thermal resistances of a semiconductor laser device are reduced, with the result that the laser device is enhanced in efficiency and output power.

    摘要: On an n-GaAs substrate are sequentially formed an n-GaAs buffer layer, an n-AlGaAs cladding layer, a non-doped InGaAs active layer, a p-AlxGa1−xAs cladding layer, a p-GaAs contact layer, and further an n-AlGaAs current blocking layer having a stripe-like window is embedded in the cladding layer. At the active layer side interface of the current blocking layer, a diffraction grating of cyclic bumps and dips shape is formed, but the diffraction grating is not formed in a region of the stripe-like window where the current blocking layer is not present, i.e., a current injection region. In this way, a semiconductor laser device of low oscillation threshold, high oscillation efficiency, high reliability, long life time, and stabilized oscillation wavelength can be realized.

Inside the wave guide layer 23, current blocking layers 24 having a lower refractive index and higher Al-composition than that of the wave guide layer and sandwich a strip-shaped active region 34. This creates a refractive index difference between the active region 34 and buried regions 33 in which each of the current blocking layers 24 exists, thereby forming a refractive index guide structure. Thus, it is possible to obtain a high-output semiconductor laser device of the refractive index guided type which is easy to manufacture.
