    摘要: A semiconductor laser element includes: a substrate having a projection at an upper face thereof; a first semiconductor layer; a light emission layer; a second semiconductor layer; and a low refractive index part having a refractive index lower than that of the first semiconductor layer. The second semiconductor layer has a ridge part for guiding laser light generated in the light emission layer. An angle between a side face of the ridge part and the waveguiding direction is larger than a limit angle defined by an effective refractive index on each of an inner side of the ridge part and an outer side of the ridge part. The low refractive index part is disposed between an active layer of the light emission layer and the projection of the substrate, and on the outer side of the side face at least where the width of the ridge part is small.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a laser device with a stepped graded index separate confinement heterostructure (SCH), in accordance with some embodiments. One embodiment includes a substrate area, and an active region adjacent to the substrate area. The active region includes an SCH layer, which comprises a first portion and a second portion adjacent to the first portion. A composition of the first portion is graded to provide a first conduction band energy increase over a distance from multiple quantum wells (MQW) to a p-side of a laser device junction. A composition of the second portion is graded to provide a second conduction band energy increase over the MQW to the p-side distance. The first conduction band energy increase is different than the second conduction band energy increase. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    摘要: A VCSEG-DFB laser, fully compatible with MGVI design and manufacturing methodologies, for single growth monolithic integration in multi-functional PICs is presented. It comprises a laser PIN structure, in mesa form, etched from upper emitter layer top surface through the active, presumably MQW, gain region, down to the top surface of the lower emitter. Lower electrical contacts sit adjacent the mesa disposed on the lower emitter layer with upper strip contacts disposed atop the upper emitter layer on the mesa top. An SEG is defined/etched from mesa top surface, between the upper strip contacts, through upper emitter layer down to or into the SCH layers. Vertical confinement is provided by the SCH structure and the lateral profile in the bottom portion of the mesa provides lateral confinement. The guided mode interacts with the SEG by the vertical tail penetrating the SEG and evanescent field coupling to the SEG.
