摘要:
A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser capable of decreasing the lowering of the yield due to displacement and separation of a pedestal without enormous increase of the threshold value and more difficult manufacturing process is provided. A base of a mesa spreads over the top face of a lower DBR layer. The base is a non-flat face in which end faces of a plurality of layers are exposed. The non-flat face is generated due to etching unevenness in forming the mesa, and is in a state of a step in which end faces of a low-refractive index layer and a high-refractive index layer included in the lower DBR layer are alternatively exposed. At least one of the layers exposed in the non-flat face in the plurality of low-refractive index layers included in the lower DBR layer is an oxidation inhibition layer.

摘要:
A semiconductor light emitting device includes a first-conductivity-type first multilayer film reflecting mirror, and a second-conductivity-type second multilayer film reflecting mirror; a cavity layer; and a first conductive section, a second conductive section, and a third conductive section. The cavity layer has a stacked configuration including a first-conductivity-type or undoped first cladding layer, an undoped first active layer, a second-conductivity-type or undoped second cladding layer, a second-conductivity-type first contact layer, a first-conductivity-type second contact layer, a first-conductivity-type or undoped third cladding layer, an undoped second active layer, and a second-conductivity-type or undoped fourth cladding layer. The first conductive section is electrically connected to the first multilayer film reflecting mirror, the second conductive section is electrically connected to the second multilayer film reflecting mirror, and the third conductive section is electrically connected to the first contact layer and the second contact layer.

A vertical cavity surface emitting laser includes a layer-stack structure including, on a substrate, a transverse-mode adjustment layer, a first multilayer reflecting mirror, an active layer having a light emission region, and a second multilayer reflecting mirror in order from the substrate side, and including a current confinement layer in which a current injection region is formed in a region corresponding to the light emission region in the first multilayer reflecting mirror, between the first multilayer reflecting mirror and the active layer, between the active layer and the second multilayer reflecting mirror, or in the second multilayer reflecting mirror. In the transverse-mode adjustment layer, reflectance at an oscillation wavelength in the region opposite to a center of the light emission region is higher than that at an oscillation wavelength in the region opposite to an outer edge of the light emission region.

摘要:
A laser diode with which separation of a current narrowing layer is able to be prevented is provided. The laser diode includes a mesa that has a first multilayer film reflector, an active layer, and a second multilayer film reflector in this order, and has a current narrowing layer for narrowing a current injected into the active layer and a buffer layer adjacent to the current narrowing layer. The current narrowing layer is formed by oxidizing a first oxidized layer containing Al. The buffer layer is formed by oxidizing a second oxidized layer whose material and a thickness are selected so that an oxidation rate is higher than that of the first multilayer film reflector and the second multilayer film reflector and is lower than that of the first oxidized layer. A thickness of the buffer layer is 10 nm or more.
