    Abstract: The characteristics of a semiconductor laser are improved. In a semiconductor laser having an n type cladding layer, an active layer, and a p type cladding layer, a current block layer is provided. For example, the current block layer is arranged partially between the p type cladding layer and the active layer, and in the overlapping region of the p type cladding layer and the active layer. Thus, in a current narrowing region of the overlapping region of the p type cladding layer and the active layer, the current block layer is arranged, thereby to suppress the current injected into a part of the active layer. This results in the formation of a saturable absorbing region, which causes a difference in intensity of the optical output of the semiconductor laser. This can implement self-pulsation.

    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor laser that suppresses end face destruction due to catastrophic optical damage (COD) to a light emission end face and has high output characteristics.An n-type clad layer, a current block layer, an active layer, and a p-type clad layer are provided over an n-type substrate whose major plane has an off-angle in a direction from a (0001) plane. For example, the current block layer is arranged on both sides of a current constriction area. Then, the current block layer is arranged so as to be retracted from a cleavage plane (line). In this case, in the active layer having a quantum well structure that is crystal-grown over the n-type clad layer and the current block layer, the layer thickness of a window area from the cleavage plane (line) up to the end part of the current block layer is smaller than the layer thickness of the current constriction area (area between the current block layers). As a result, the band gap of the active layer in the window area becomes large, and thus it is possible to suppress end face destruction due to the COD.

    Abstract: A transversely-coupled distributed feedback laser diode, which can be processed without overgrowth, is disclosed. The laser is made from an epitaxial heterostructure including a core layer located between two cladding layers, a cap layer, and at least one Al-rich layer. The lateral waveguide is formed by selective oxidation of the Al-rich layer.A surface corrugated grating is formed above the waveguide. The heteroepitaxial structure is designed so that the core layer is placed in close proximity to the top of the laser structure to provide a required overlap between the light and the grating. In order to avoid inadmissible optical losses, there is no metallization above the waveguide. Instead, the metal contacts are offset at some distance, so that the current has to spread in the cap layer before vertical injection into the core layer.
