Abstract

The invention provides a manufacturing method of a contact layer, a semiconductor laser and a manufacturing method of the semiconductor laser, and the manufacturing method of the contact layer comprises the following steps: firstly, forming a non-doped semiconductor layer on an epitaxial layer of the semiconductor laser, and then doping the non-doped semiconductor layer. The contact layer manufactured by adopting the manufacturing method comprises a doped region and a non-doped region, the current cannot be injected into the non-doped region; only the doped region can be injected with current;the area of injected current in the doped region is gradually increased along the length direction of the cavity; therefore, influence of uneven distribution of carrier density and gain along the direction from a reflection enhanced film to an antireflection film due to uneven distribution of photon density in the resonant cavity is counteracted, carriers are evenly distributed in the cavity length direction, and the output power and performance stability of the semiconductor laser are improved. An electrode of the semiconductor laser is directly manufactured on the contact layer, no dielectric film is arranged between the electrode and the contact layer, and the electrode and the contact layer are firmly adhered and are not easy to fall off.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor lasers, in particular to a manufacturing method of a contact layer, a semiconductor laser and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor laser is an important optoelectronic device, which can convert injected carriers into photons by radiative recombination. Traditional semiconductor lasers use uniform injection of carriers, that is, carriers are evenly distributed along the entire electrode direction. Semiconductor lasers often use an asymmetric coating method, that is, an AR coating is deposited on one end of the cavity surface for reflected light, and an anti-reflection coating is deposited on the other end of the cavity surface for transmitted light. When the semiconductor laser is in the lasing state, the distribution of the optical field in the cavity will be affected by this asymmetric coating, that is, the photon density in the resonant cavity of the...
