To provide a high-efficiency semiconductor photoelectronic device whose durability and reliability are enhanced by effectively increasing light limiting factors.
The semiconductor photoelectronic device is provided with an active layer, upper and lower waveguide layers respectively provided above and below the active layer, upper and lower cladding layers respectively provided above and below the sandwich composed of the active layer and the waveguide layers, and a substrate for supporting the deposited structure. A light limiting layer is provided between the active layer and each of the upper and lower waveguide layers, whose energy gap is smaller than that of the corresponding waveguide layer but larger than that of the active layer. Thus, a mode leakage is decreased and suppressed, and in addition, optical confinement factor is increased.
