Integrated semiconductor optical device

摘要

A semiconductor laser (a first semiconductor optical device) and an optical modulator (a second semiconductor optical device) are integrated on the same n-type InP substrate. The semiconductor laser butt-joined to the optical modulator. Each of the semiconductor laser and the optical modulator has a Be-doped p-type InGaAs contact layer. The p-type InGaAs contact layers have a Be-doping concentration of 7×1018 cm−3 or more, and a thickness of 300 nm or less.
