Abstract

In a distributed feedback semiconductor laser includes an InP substrate and a multiple layer structure formed on a main surface of the InP substrate, the multiple layer structure includes at least an active layer for emitting laser light and a periodical structure for distributed feedback of the laser light, and the periodical structure includes a plurality of semiconductor regions each having a triangular cross section in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the InP substrate and parallel to a cavity length of the distributed feedback semiconductor laser, the triangular cross section projecting toward the InP substrate.
