Abstract
An edge-emitting type 650 nm band red semiconductor laser device is provided, which includes a resonator structure having an active layer on a semiconductor substrate. A low reflection three-layer film is provided on an emitting edge face of the resonator structure and a high reflection multi-layer film is provided on a rear edge face of the resonator structure. The low reflection three-layer film is formed by sequentially stacking a first Al203 film having a thickness of 10 nm, a SiN4 film having a thickness of 190 nm, and a second Al203 film having a thickness of 10 nm on the emitting edge face by a sputtering process.
Claims3
A semiconductor laser device of an edge-emitting type comprising:
- a resonator having a pair of edge faces, one emitting edge face at which a low reflection multi-layer film is provided;
- wherein said low reflection multi-layer film includes a first dielectric film formed over the emitting edge face of the resonator, a second dielectric film formed over the first dielectric film and having a thermal conductivity higher than that of said first dielectric film, and a third dielectric film formed over the second dielectric film and having a thermal conductivity lower than that of said second dielectric film, wherein said first dielectric film is comprised of ZrO2, HfO2, or AlN and said second dielectric film is comprised of AlN or GaN.
