Embodiment approach 1

[0044] attached figure 1 It is a configuration diagram showing the first embodiment of the present invention, and shows a vertical cross section along the optical axis. The laser chip is composed of a semiconductor substrate 1 such as GaAs, an active layer 2 , clad layers 3 formed above and below the active layer 2 , electrodes 4 formed above and below the clad layer 3 , and the like.

[0046] The low-reflection film 10 is successively composed of a dielectric film 11 with a refractive index of n1 and a film thickness of d1, a dielectric film 12 with a refractive index of n2 and a film thickness of d2, a refractive index of n3 and a film thickness from the side in contact with the laser chip. A dielectric film 13 with a thickness of d3 and a dielectric ...

Embodiment approach 2

[0068] In this embodiment mode, the structure and attachment of the semiconductor laser device figure 1 The contents are the same, but the low-reflection film 10 is sequentially composed from the side in contact with the laser chip: a dielectric film 11 with a refractive index of n1 and a film thickness of d1, a dielectric film 12 with a refractive index of n2 and a film thickness of d2, A dielectric film 13 with a refractive index of n3 and a film thickness of d3 and a dielectric film 14 with a refractive index of n4 and a film thickness of d4 are formed, and the materials are selected so that the refractive indices n1-n4 satisfy the relationship of n2=n4

[0069] Taking the specific structure of the low-reflection film 10 as an example, when using a red semiconductor laser (equivalent refractive index: 3.817) with an oscillation wavelength of λ=660nm as the laser chip, use a refractive index n1 on the dielectric film 11 in contact with the laser chip =2.063 tantalum ...

Embodiment approach 3

[0082] In this embodiment, the structure of the semiconductor laser is attached figure 1 Similarly, in addition to the low-reflection film 10 of the above-mentioned 4-layer structure, a multilayer dielectric film composed of a combination of a fifth dielectric film and a sixth dielectric film is partially formed in the area other than the light-emitting point, thereby forming a reflectance ratio than a light-emitting film. Low reflection coating with small area where dots are located.

[0083] In a semiconductor laser for an optical disc (disc), since a so-called three-beam method is used for tracking the optical disc, the return light from the optical disc is often irradiated to an area other than the light-emitting point of the semiconductor laser chip. When the same reflective film is formed on the end face of the chip, the reflectance other than the light-emitting point is the same as the light-emitting point, so the return light from the optical disc is further reflected...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor laser device provided with a dielectric reflection film on a light exit surface. Background technique [0002] In a semiconductor laser, generally, a dielectric film is formed on an end face of a resonator obtained by separating a wafer. By arbitrarily selecting the type, film thickness, and number of layers of the medium formed on the end face, it is possible to form a reflectance control film that obtains a desired reflectance. For example, higher output power can be obtained by reducing the reflectivity of the front end surface where the laser light is emitted and increasing the reflectivity of the rear end surface. [0003] However, it is not preferable to only reduce the reflectance value of the front surface, and it is necessary to select the reflectance according to the application of the semiconductor laser, that is, according to the required characteristics. [0004] For example, in a semicond...
