Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a structure for preventing return of light at an outgoing end surface in an optical semiconductor device that is formed on a semiconductor substrate having a surface (100), has a waveguide mesa stripe, and operates in a high speed. SOLUTION: In a region L2 in the front region of the outgoing end face 50a on an InP substrate 41, two dummy mesa patterns M2, M3, each having the same lamination structure as that of a mesa stripe M1, are formed on both right and left sides with respect to an extension line of the mesa stripe M1 such that they are positioned in parallel with the extension direction of the mesa stripe M1 and in a bilaterally symmetric relation. In the optical semiconductor device 40, if the optical beam emitted from the outgoing end face 50a of the mesa drive M1 enters an InP embedded layer 50 formed between the dummy mesa stripes M2 and M3 in the region L2, the beam system is enlarged. As a result, even if the light reflects off the outgoing end face 50b of the semiconductor device 40, the ratio of reflection light injected into the mesa drive M1 as return light is small.
