    摘要: A transverse multimode semiconductor laser element includes: a semiconductor layered portion that includes an active layer and has a waveguide structure, wherein the semiconductor layered portion includes: a first region that includes a first diffraction grating and has a refractive index n1, and a second region that includes a first core region having a refractive index n21 and a plurality of first cladding regions having a refractive index n22 respectively provided on opposite sides of the first core region, and allows a laser beam to propagate in a plurality of transverse modes. The laser beam emitted from the second region propagates through the first region at a maximum diffusion angle θmax1 determined by the refractive index n1, the refractive index n21, and the refractive index n22.

    摘要: To obtain both a high output power and a single mode oscillation of a semiconductor laser. The semiconductor laser includes first and second regions. In the first region, a diffraction pattern having a high reflectance with respect to a light beam having a Bragg wavelength is arranged. The second region includes: a π-shift region with a phase shifting by π from a phase of the first region, a secondary λ/4 shift portion, an in-phase region having the same phase as that of the first region, and the secondary λ/4 shift portion are arranged toward a second end portion in the stated order; and the π-shift region. The π-shift region is longer than the in-phase region, a length of the first region is larger than a difference between the π-shift region and the in-phase region, and facets on both sides each have a low-reflection facet coating film formed thereon.

    摘要: The optical circuit of the present disclosure provides a new optical transmitter configuration that achieves both high output and high quality transmission characteristics regardless of variations at cleavage positions. The optical circuit of the present disclosure may be an optical transmitter having an AXEL configuration in which an EADFB laser and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) are integrated. In a window structure portion of a chip emission edge face of the AXEL, a partially thickened bulk semiconductor layer is formed by a structure including a simulated mesa configured to be separated from an optical axis parallel to an optical axis of an emission optical waveguide.

    摘要: The grating layer of a surface emitting laser is divided into a first grating region and a second grating region along a horizontal direction. The second grating region is located at a middle area of the grating layer, while the first grating region is located in an outer peripheral area of the grating layer. Each of the first and second grating regions comprises a plurality of micro-grating structures. The grating period of the micro-grating structures in the first grating region is in accordance with the following mathematical formula:

    in addition, the grating period of the micro-grating structures in the second grating region is in accordance with the following mathematical formula:







    =

    Wherein ∧ is the length of grating period, λ is the wavelength of the laser light, neff is the equivalent refractive index of semiconductor waveguide, m=1, and o=2. The first grating region is a first-order grating region, and the second grating region is a second-order grating region, so as to form a hybrid grating structure in the grating layer. The surface emitting laser emits laser light perpendicularly from a light-emitting surface defined by the second grating region.
