| 摘要 |
A distributed feedback semiconductor laser device having a semiconductor substrate, a bottom electrode formed on a bottom surface of the substrate, a corrugation-shaped grating formed on a top surface of the substrate, an active waveguide layer whose energy band gap profile and whose light propagation constant are varied along a cavity length direction of the laser device, the active waveguide layer being formed over the corrugation-shaped grating, a clad layer formed to cover the active waveguide layer, and a top electrode formed on a top of the clad layer. The active waveguide layer is grown by a selective metal organic vapor phase epitaxy with use of slender insulation masks having a variation in width, the slender insulation masks being arranged at both sides of an area on which the active waveguide layer is grown.
