(Embodiment 3) FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the structure of a strained multiple quantum well DBR layer in a third embodiment of the present invention. The strained multiple quantum well DBR layer in FIG.
It is configured by repeating a pair of P and a multiple quantum well layer, but tensile strain is used for the first pair of multiple quantum well layers 12c and compressive strain is used for the second pair of multiple quantum well layers 12d. , Is a structure that repeats this as one set. In this way, the reason why strain is introduced into the multiple quantum well layer is that the change in the refractive index due to the voltage can be increased by the strain, and that the compression strain and the tensile strain are alternately combined only in the compression or the tensile strain. Since the crystallinity becomes extremely poor at a certain thickness or more, the strain of the entire multi-quantum well DBR layer is relaxed by alternately changing the strain direction, and the strain amount is the same for both strains. For example, when the compressive strain is 0.15%, the tensile strain is -0.15%. The order of compressive strain and tensile strain may be reversed.
