    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.
