Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In the semiconductor laser including a diffraction grating in which a first diffraction grating region with a first pitch, a second diffraction grating region with a second pitch and a third diffraction grating region with the first pitch, an anti-reflection film coated on an end facet to the light-emitting side, and a reflection film coated on an opposite end facet, the first diffraction grating region is greater than the third diffraction grating region, and the second diffraction grating region is formed, in such a manner that phases of the first and third diffraction grating regions are shifted in a range of equal to or more than 0.6 π to equal to or less than 0.9 π, phases are successive on a boundary between the first and second diffraction grating regions and the phases are successive on a boundary between the second and third diffraction grating regions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor laser comprising: a diffraction grating in which a first diffraction grating region that has a periodic structure with a first pitch, a second diffraction grating region that has a periodic structure with a second pitch different from the first pitch, and a third diffraction grating region that has the periodic structure with the first pitch are arranged sequentially and contiguously side by side along a direction of light propagation beginni…
