Abstract

The invention discloses a semiconductor laser. The semiconductor laser comprises a lower-part flat plate waveguide and an upper-part ridge waveguide along a growth direction of an epitaxial layer anda ridge width unchanged region at a back side and a ride width narrowing region at a front side along an optical transmission direction, at the ridge width unchanged region, the ridge width of the upper-part ridge waveguide is maintained unchanged, at the ride width narrowing region, the ridge width of the upper-part ridge waveguide is gradually narrowed, the ridge width of a wide ridge end of theride width narrowing region is equal to the ridge width of the ridge width unchanged region, the ridge width of the ridge end of the ride width narrowing region is smaller than the ridge width of thewide ridge end, a narrow ride end is an optical output end, at the ridge width narrowing region, the equivalent refractive index of the upper-part ridge waveguide is gradually reduced with the ridgewidth gradually narrowed until the narrow ridge end approaches the equivalent refractive index of the lower-part flat plate waveguide, the longitudinal size and the transverse size of a base mode of the narrow ridge both are increased, so that the longitudinal scattering angle and the transverse scattering angle of output light both are reduced. The scattering angle of the output light of the semiconductor laser provided by the invention is smaller than the scattering angle of a conventional ridge waveguide-structure semiconductor laser.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor lasers, and more specifically, to a semiconductor laser. Background technique [0002] In the coming era of the Internet of Everything, the demand for communication between people, people and things, and things is increasing rapidly, making optical communication systems play an increasingly important role in the modern information society.
