Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor laser that has a diffraction grating and can operate at high temperatures.
- the semiconductor laser according to this embodiment includes a gain region 11, a ring resonator 12, and a DBR (Distributed Bragg Reflector) region 13 on SiO 2 101, as shown in FIG. 1A.
- DBR Distributed Bragg Reflector
- the lengths of the gain region 11 and the DBR region 13 are 75 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m, respectively, and the width of the active layer 113 of the gain region 11 and the width of the InP waveguide 122 of the DBR region 13 are approximately 1.0 ⁇ m. .
- the DBR region 13 is arranged on the light emitting side, if it is too long, the reflectance becomes high and the light cannot be efficiently emitted (cannot be extracted). Therefore, it is desirable to set the reflectance of the DBR region 13 to 5 to 50%.
- the gain peak S113 of the MQW active layer shifts to the long wavelength side (wavelength ⁇ 1_a) and the intensity decreases.
- the oscillation wavelength due to the ring resonator 12 and the DBR diffraction grating 131 also shifts to the longer wavelength side, but the amount of shift of this wavelength ( ⁇ 1_1') is smaller than the amount of shift of the gain peak.
- a shift occurs between the gain peak ( ⁇ 1_a) of the MQW active layer and the oscillation wavelength peak ( ⁇ 1_1') (1_2 in the figure). This degrades the high temperature characteristics of this laser.
- FIG. 3 shows the calculation results of the temperature dependence of the oscillation peak wavelength and gain peak wavelength in the semiconductor laser.
- two oscillation wavelengths can be obtained by forming a uniform diffraction grating with a wider stop band width of the DFB.
- the difference between the wavelength for oscillation at room temperature and the wavelength for oscillation at high temperature is determined by the stop band width of the DFB diffraction grating.
- the DFB stopband width almost depends on the coupling coefficient of the diffraction grating.
- the two waveguides 222_1 and 222_2 are optically coupled to the ring waveguide 221, and one of the two waveguides 222_1 and 222_2 has a gain through the taper 14. Optically coupled with region 11 .
- the other waveguide 222_2 has a loop mirror 23 at one end.
- the ring waveguide 221, taper 14 and loop mirror 23 are made of InP. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.
- loop mirror 23 an example using the loop mirror 23 has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and instead of the loop mirror 23, as shown in FIG. Any structure (light reflecting portion) that reflects the oscillation light emitted from the ring resonator 22 may be formed.
