Abstract:
A semiconductor laser array includes: a plurality of semiconductor lasers configured to oscillate in a single mode at oscillation wavelengths different from one another, each semiconductor laser including an active layer including a multi-quantum well structure including a plurality of will layers and a plurality of barrier layers laminated alternately, and an n-side separate confinement heterostructure layer and p-side separate confinement heterostructure layer configured to sandwich the active layer therebetween in a thickness direction, band gap energies of the n-side separate confinement heterostructure layer and the p-side separate confinement heterostructure layer being greater than band gap energies of the barrier layers of the active layer. The active layer is doped with an n-type impurity.
