Semiconductor laser and method of manufacturing same

摘要

A semiconductor laser capable of producing a high optical output has a coating film applied to an exit end. The coating film has a refractive index (n1) which is large compared with the refractive index (neff) of a semiconductor waveguide. The refractive index (n1) and the refractive index (neff) satisfy the relationship: n1<2> > neff.
