SURFACE MISSION LASER DEVICE PROVIDED WITH PERPENDICULAR EMITTER THAT CAN BE OPTICALLY PUMPED

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a semiconductor laser device to modulate an output power at a high speed. SOLUTION: A surface emission semiconductor laser device is provided with a perpendicular emitter (20) that can be optically pumped, which is provided with at least one modulation beam source (30) to modulate an output power of the surface emission semiconductor laser device that is a type having a beam formation layer (14). The modulation beam source includes an edge radiation semiconductor structure (15) having an active layer forming a beam, and the modulation beam source is arranged to radiate a beam from the semiconductor laser device during operation. The generated beam is inputted in the active layer (14) for forming the beam of the perpendicular emitter (20) and is joined with it. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
