Abstract

The present invention provides a semiconductor laser such as a Fabry-Perot type laser diode with small characteristic deviation and high slope efficiency or a distributed feedback type laser diode capable of suppressing backhaul optical noise. In a semiconductor laser in which a dielectric film is formed on at least one laser emission surface, as the dielectric film, the wavelength dependence of the reflectivity on the emission surface becomes maximum or minimum near the oscillation wavelength of the laser, and the oscillation wavelength of the laser is at the emission wavelength. A multi-layered film of various dielectric materials whose surface reflectance is set to be 10% or more and 25% or less.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor laser having a dielectric laminated film formed on a laser light emitting end face. Background technique [0002] A Fabry-Perot laser diode (Fabry-Perot Laser Diode: hereinafter referred to as FP-LD) generates laser oscillation by reciprocating and resonating light between a pair of reflective surfaces. The reflective surface is usually formed by cleavage crystals, and the reflectivity of an end face (front end face) cleaved by the laser exit surface is R f , The reflectivity of the other end face (rear end face) is R r , it is generally designed as R f < R r . With such a structure, more laser light can be extracted from the front end surface, and thus there is an advantage that the slope efficiency which is an important characteristic of a laser diode (hereinafter referred to as LD) can be improved. [0003] On the other hand, the reflectivity of the end face also affects another important char...
