摘要:
An optical semiconductor device (1) has a semiconductor substrate (2) made of InP, an active layer (7) which is formed in parallel with a top surface (2a) of the semiconductor substrate (2) above the semiconductor substrate (2), an n-type first cladding layer (6) made of InGaAsP which is formed under the active layer (7), a p-type second cladding layer (8) made of InP which is formed under the active layer (7), and window regions (4a, 4b) which are formed at least one light-emitting facet of both light-emitting facets of the active layer (7). The window regions are formed between device facets (1a, 1b) from the light-emitting facet. A relationship is established in which, given that a refractive index of the n-type first cladding layer (6) is na, and a refractive index of the p-type second cladding layer (8) is nb, na>nb is obtained that the refractive index na of the n-type first cladding layer (6) is higher than the refractive index nb of the p-type second cladding layer (8), so as to deflect a distribution of electric field strength of a light generated at the active layer (7) toward the n-type first cladding layer (6) side.
摘要:
A semiconductor laser includes a substrate made of InP, an active layer including a multiquantum well structure, which is formed in a width of 7 to 14 μm on the substrate, and an n-type cladding layer made of InGaAsP and a p-type cladding layer made of InP, which are formed on the substrate with the active layer interposed therebetween. The semiconductor laser oscillates only in the fundamental lateral mode, and light emitted from an exit facet can be optically coupled with an external single mode optical fiber.
摘要:
The semiconductor light emitting device includes a semiconductor substrate formed from InP, an active layer, an n-type cladding layer formed from InGaAsP, and a p-type cladding layer formed from InP. The active layer is formed at the upper side of the semiconductor substrate. The n-type cladding layer and the p-type cladding layer are formed so as to hold the active layer therebetween. The semiconductor light emitting device is, given that, a refractive index of the n-type cladding layer is na, and a refractive index of the p-type cladding layer is nb, set so as to be the relationship of na>nb in which the refractive index na of the n-type cladding layer is higher than the refractive index nb of the p-type cladding layer, and due to the distribution of light generated by the active layer being deflected to the n-type cladding layer side, optical loss by intervalence band light absorption at the p-type cladding layer is suppressed, and high-power light output can be obtained.
