Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor laser device comprising a double-heterostructure that is composed of an active layer (15) and a pair of cladding layers (13,17) sandwiching the active layer (15) therebetween, a striped structure in which current injected into the laser device is confined, the striped structure being constituted by a part of the double-heterostructure, and optical guiding layers (14,16) positioned between one cladding layer (13) and the active layer (15) and between the active layer (15) and the other cladding layer (17), wherein the resistance of one optical guiding layer (16) positioned at the striped structure side is higher than that of the other optical guiding layer (14) positioned opposite to the striped structure side.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 113 words
A semiconductor laser device comprising: a double-heterostructure that is composed of an active layer (15) and a pair of cladding layers (13,17) sandwiching said active layer (15) therebetween, a striped structure in which current injected into said laser device is confined, said striped structure being constituted by a part of said double-­heterostructure, and optical guiding layers (14,16) positioned between one cladding layer (13) and said active layer (15) and between said active layer (15) and the other cladding layer (17) wherein the resistance of one optical guiding layer (16) positioned at the striped structure side is higher than that of the other optical guiding layer (14) positioned opposite to the striped structure side.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 113 words
