Abstract

PURPOSE:To oscillate a semiconductor laser stably at a single wavelength, in a distributed feedback type semiconductor laser, by forming one end surface at a position, which is separated from the top of the protruded part or the lowest point of the recess part in a periodic wave form by 1/6-1/10 the wave period. CONSTITUTION:The left end surface of a semiconductor laser is controlled and formed at a position, which is separated from a top 17 of the protruded part of a periodic wave form by LAMBDA/8. (In this case, LAMBDA is the length of the wave period. It is determined as 2,400Angstrom in this embodiment. Therefore, LAMBDA/8 becomes about 300Angstrom .) In order to enhance the reflectivity at the end surface, a reflecting film 16 is formed. The left end part of the distributed feedback type semiconductor laser undergoes the phase shift of LAMBDA/4. The reflectivity at this point is enhanced by the reflecting film 16. Therefore, the same wave conducting mode as that of a distributed feedback type semiconductor laser having the phase shift of LAMBDA/4 at the central part is obtained. Therefore, A TE-1 mode and a TE+1 mode have the same frequency. Thus the stable oscillation can be obtained at a single wavelength.

(Prior art and its problems) Practical use of optical semiconductor devices and optical fiber communications has begun. However, in order to fully utilize the characteristics of optical fiber communication, a semiconductor laser that stably oscillates at a single wavelength is required. When a semiconductor laser that cannot stably oscillate at a single wavelength is used in optical fiber communications, the transmission band becomes narrow due to material dispersion of the optical fiber, and large noise is generated when the wavelength changes, causing problems in the transmission system. The signal-to-noise ratio deteriorates, leading to a decline in transmission quality. For these reasons, distributed feedback semiconductor lasers are being researched with the aim of realizing a semiconductor laser that stably oscillates at a single wavelength. Distributed feedback semiconductor lasers use Bragg reflectors formed by unevenness near or in the active layer, whereas normal semiconductor lasers use crystal cleavage planes as resonators.For this reason, 1. Semiconductor lasers tend to oscillate at multiple wavelengths, but distributed feedback semiconductor lasers can oscillate only at wavelengths selected by a Bragg reflector.

It oscillates in distributed feedback mode, but since there are two distributed feedback modes (TI and TB□1) that oscillate at the lowest threshold, these two modes may oscillate simultaneously, or even in a single mode. The problem with 0 was that even if it oscillated, the mode would shift when the temperature or operating current was changed, that is, it would not oscillate stably at a single wavelength.As a way to completely solve the problem, it is possible to solve the problem of periodic unevenness.

I, I, O, V-f. Unfortunately, it cannot be formed using photolithography. With this method, unevenness can only be formed at equal intervals. One possible method is to provide the above phase shift using electron beam exposure, but with a single electron beam, the
The limit is accuracy of approximately 00X, and it is difficult to form periodic irregularities with an accuracy of 1/4 (approximately 500X) of one period (approximately 20001). Therefore, the conventional distributed feedback semiconductor laser has the problem of not stably oscillating at a single wavelength. An object of the present invention is to provide a distributed feedback semiconductor laser that has the following characteristics.

It is distinctive in that it is formed at a position 1/10 from 6.

Therefore, the wavelengths of the TE-1 needle and the TFt+1 mode match, making it easier to oscillate at a single wavelength.Also, if a reflective film is formed on the end face, the above effect becomes more noticeable and stable. oscillates at a single wavelength. Even if the position of the end face is within a range of 176 to 1/10 of the periodic period from the top of the recess or the lowest point of the periodic recess, it may be exactly 1
Even if it is not /8, the difference in the oscillation wavelength between the Tl-1 mode and the TE+1 mode is small, and the mode oscillation is sufficiently stable at a single wavelength due to the mode attraction phenomenon.

(Example) Examples of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 0 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the present invention, in which a waveguide layer 13 and a substrate 11 functioning as an n-type cladding layer are formed. Interface 1
2 has a periodic uneven shape. In addition, the waveguide layer 1
There is an active layer 14 on which surface carriers are injected and emit light by recombination, and a p-type cladding layer 15 is provided on top of the active layer 14 . Such a structure has been conventionally used in normal distributed feedback semiconductor lasers.In conventional distributed feedback semiconductor lasers, the position of the end face is unrelated to periodic irregularities, but in this example, The position of the left end face is from the apex 17 of the convex part of the periodic concaves and convexes to Al8 (here, A is the length of the period of the concavities and convexities, which is 2400X in this example, so Al1 is 300X). Furthermore, a reflective film 16 is formed to increase the reflectance at this end facet.The distributed feedback type semiconductor laser has a phase shift of Al1 at the left end part. Since the reflectance here is increased by the reflective film 16, the waveguide mode becomes the same as that of a distributed feedback semiconductor laser having a phase shift of Al1 at the center. Therefore, the TE- mode and the TB+1 mode can stably oscillate at the same frequency and at a single wavelength. In this example, n-type InP is used for the substrate 11, and InGa with an energy gap of 0.95 eV is used for the waveguide layer 13.
The active layer 14 is an InGaAsP layer with an energy gap of 0.8 eV, and the p-type cladding layer 15 is AsP J@.
p-type InP was used for each. 4! The layer thickness of the first layer is 0.15 μm for the waveguide layer 13 and 0.1 μm for the active layer 14.
On a substrate 11 made of n-type InP, a 2pms p-type cladding layer with 12 micrometers of 0 or periodic unevenness was formed.
It was obtained using a commonly used photolithography method that utilizes laser interference fringes. AZ-1350 for photoresist
, a helium-cadmium laser tube was used as the laser. As mentioned above, the interval between the interference fringes was chosen to be 2400X.

- The position of the 0 left end face corresponding to the first-order diffraction interval of Lv-fp length for one oscillation is set at the Al1 position from the apex 17 of the convex part of the periodic unevenness. In order to form a zero-distribution feedback laser using the ion milling method, it is observed that each distributed feedback mode oscillates simultaneously when the zero-distribution feedback laser is energized at a state slightly lower than the oscillation dark value current. , while measuring the wavelength interval between the TE mode and the TB-1 mode, the end face is milled using the ion milling method, or from the position of the end face that is connected to an arbitrary position, until the TE1 mode and the TE-□ mode overlap. Ion millimeter analysis was performed. When this state was observed with an all-electron microscope, it was confirmed that the position was exactly Al1 from the apex 17 of the convex part or the lowest point 18 of the concave part. On the end face thus formed, a 16 ft dielectric reflective film was formed by a conventional vapor deposition method.
