Abstract

A pulsation laser includes an n-type AlGaAs cladding layer on an n-type GaAs substrate, three quantum well active layers having central increased thickness regions and disposed on the cladding layer, and a p-type AlGaAs cladding layer disposed on the quantum well active layer. The increased thickness region of the active layer is not more than one-quarter of the length of the resonator of the laser.
