Semiconductor laser device

摘要

A semiconductor laser device includes a first cladding layer, an active layer, and a second cladding layer with a central ridge on a substrate. A current blocking layer is disposed on the second cladding layer burying the ridge. A contact layer is disposed on the current blocking layer and the ridge. The portion of the second cladding layer adjacent to the active layer has a greater resistivity than a portion of the second cladding layer remote from the active layer, reducing leakage current.
