A semiconductor optical device having a region in which semiconductor or carriers in the semiconductor and light are interact, for example, an active region for a semiconductor laser, an optical wave guide region of an optical modulator, etc., includes a quantum well structure having a well region and a barrier region. The semiconductor optical device is remarkably improved with the degree of design freedom as it relates to parameters such as thickness and selection of material without deteriorating the quantum effect, by introducing a super lattice super-layer structure into the barrier region of the quantum well structure or defining the strain for the well region and the barrier region.

An InGaAlAs-based buried type laser is expected to improve properties of the device, but generates defects at a regrowth interface and is difficult to realize a long-term reliability necessary for optical communication, due to inclusion of Al in an active layer. The present inventors have studied in detail the relationship between crystals of the regrowth layers and Al composition ratios, and realized the improvement of device properties and the long-term reliability through the use of an Al composition ratio-reduced tensile strained quantum well layer.

摘要:
A semiconductor laser device of the field modulation type includes a structure in which the threshold carrier density for laser oscillation is reduced so as to enable an effective action of a modulated electric field applied externally on an active region for radiating light, thereby enabling an extremely high speed modulation. A quantum structure which does not fulfill the charge neutrality condition for free-carriers or a strained super lattice structure is adopted as the structure in which the threshold carrier density is reduced.

The present invention provides a Be-based group II-VI semiconductor laser using an InP substrate and having a stacked structure capable of continuous oscillation at a room temperature. A basic structure of a semiconductor laser is constituted by using a Be-containing lattice-matched II-VI semiconductor above an InP substrate. An active laser, an optical guide layer, and a cladding layer are constituted in a double hetero structure having a type I band line-up in order to enhance the injection efficiency of carriers to the active layer. Also, the active layer, the optical guide layer, and the cladding layer, which are capable of enhancing the optical confinement to the active layer, are constituted, and the cladding layer is constituted with bulk crystals.

摘要:
Organic luminescent elements forming an R sub-pixel, a G sub-pixel, and a B sub-pixel are formed of lower electrodes (3, 4, and 5), hole-transporting layers (7, 8, and 11), luminescent layers (9, 12, and 14), electron-transporting layers (10, 13, and 15), and an upper electrode (16), and each of the organic luminescent elements optimizes an optical interference condition. A dielectric alternate laminated film (17) is formed on the upper electrode (16), and forms a micro-resonator with each of the lower electrodes. The micro-resonator structure raises the directivity of a radiation pattern, and improves the light extraction efficiency of each of the organic luminescent elements. A narrow radiation pattern is alleviated by a view angle-controlling layer (19) formed on the dielectric alternate laminated film (17) so as to broaden until a perfectly diffusing surface radiation pattern. Consequently, the light extraction efficiency can be improved in an organic luminescent display device.
