摘要: In a semiconductor laser, a block layer is provided on both sides of a mesa-type semiconductor part having an n-type cladding layer, an active layer, and a p-type cladding layer. The block layer has: a p-type block layer formed on the side surface of the mesa-type semiconductor part and over a p-type semiconductor substrate; a high-resistance layer formed over the p-type block layer; and an n-type block layer formed over the high-resistance layer, which has a higher resistance than that of the p-type block layer. By providing the high-resistance layer between the p-type block layer and the n-type block layer, the thickness of the p-type block layer can be controlled and a leakage current (flow of a hole) can be reduced. Further, the distance between the n-type cladding layer and the n-type block layer can be secured, and hence a leakage current (flow of an electron) can be prevented.

摘要: A method for producing a quantum cascade laser includes the steps of forming a laser structure including a mesa structure and a buried region embedding the mesa structure; forming a mask on the laser structure, the mask including a first pattern that defines a λ/4 period distribution Bragg reflector structure and a second pattern that defines a 3λ/4 period distribution Bragg reflector structure; and forming a first distribution Bragg reflector structure, a second distribution Bragg reflector structure, and a semiconductor waveguide structure by dry-etching the laser structure through the mask, the semiconductor waveguide structure including the mesa structure that has first and second end facets. The first distribution Bragg reflector structure is optically coupled to the first end facet. The second distribution Bragg reflector structure is optically coupled to the second end facet. Here, λ denotes a value of an oscillation wavelength of the quantum cascade laser in vacuum.

摘要: To improve characteristics of a semiconductor device (semiconductor laser), an active layer waveguide (AWG) comprised of InP is formed over an exposed part of a surface of a substrate having an off angle ranging from 0.5° to 1.0° in a [1-1-1] direction from a (100) plane to extend in the [0-1-1] direction. A cover layer comprised of p-type InP is formed over the AWG with a V/III ratio of 2000 or more. Thereby, it is possible to obtain excellent multiple quantum wells (MQWs) by reducing a film thickness variation of the AWG. Moreover, the cover layer having side faces where a (0-11) plane almost perpendicular to a substrate surface mainly appears can be formed. A sectional shape of a lamination part of the cover layer and the AWG becomes an approximately rectangular shape. Therefore, an electrification region can be enlarged and it is possible to reduce a resistance of the semiconductor device.

摘要: A tunable laser source includes a mirror, a tunable filter, and a semiconductor optical amplifier integrated device including first, second, and third semiconductor optical amplifiers between a first end face facing toward the tunable filter and a second end face facing away from the first end face. The first amplifier is closer to the first end face than the second and third amplifiers. The semiconductor optical amplifier integrated device further includes a partially reflecting mirror and an optical divider that are disposed between the first amplifier and the second and third amplifiers. The partially reflecting mirror is closer to the first amplifier than the optical divider. The optical divider includes first and second branches connected to the second and third semiconductor optical amplifiers, respectively. The tunable filter and the first amplifier are disposed in an optical path between the partially reflecting mirror and the mirror that form a laser resonator.
