Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR RING LASER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002118324
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To enable an operation of a semiconductor ring laser by reducing the radius of a ring and to enable an easy control of the laser in a single lateral mode.

The semiconductor ring laser comprises an active region formed as the embedding active region 1 of a linear embedding hetero structure or a ridge waveguide structure. Reliability of the laser can be assured. The waveguides 4 and 5 for forming the ring have a semiconductor high mesa waveguides having very strong light confinement of a lateral direction. Accordingly, even when a bending radius is reduced, a radiating loss does not almost occur. Thus, even when the radius of the ring is reduced, the ring laser can be operated.
