    摘要: On a substrate of n-type GaAs are sequentially formed an n-type cladding layer (AlGaAs, Al content x=0.07, thickness t=2.86 &mgr;m), an n-type optical waveguide layer (GaAs, t=0.49 &mgr;m), an n-type carrier blocking layer (AlGaAs, x=0.40, t=0.03 &mgr;m), an active layer (composed of an In0.18Ga0.82As quantum well layer and a GaAs barrier layer), a p-type carrier blocking layer (AlGaAs, x=0.40, t=0.03 &mgr;m), a p-type optical waveguide layer (GaAs, t=0.49 &mgr;m), a p-type cladding layer (AlGaAs, x=0.20, t=1.08 &mgr;m), and a p-type cap layer (GaAs) in which a pair of n-type current blocking layers (GaAs) are buried. With this construction, the occurrence of a wavelength spit due to a higher-order mode can be inhibited thereby stabilizing a higher power operation.

    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: A laser light, whose wavelength is to be measured, is introduced into an etalon, a concentric circular interference stripe derived from the etalon is irradiated onto a one-dimensional photodetector array and a diameter of the interference stripe is measured to measure the wavelength of the laser light. Alternatively, if a reference laser light of known wavelength is introduced into the etalon, as described above, a wavelength measurement of extremely high accuracy can be made without being affected by positional deviations of the optical system.
