Abstract

Provided are a quantum dot laser diode and a method of manufacturing the same. The method of manufacturing a quantum dot laser diode includes the steps of: forming a grating structure layer including a plurality of gratings on a substrate; forming a first lattice-matched layer on the grating structure layer; forming at least one quantum dot layer having at least one quantum dot on the first lattice-matched layer; forming a second lattice-matched layer on the quantum dot layer; forming a cladding layer on the second lattice-matched layer; and forming an ohmic contact layer on the cladding layer. Consequently, it is possible to obtain high gain at a desired wavelength without affecting the uniformity of quantum dots, so that the characteristics of a laser diode can be improved.
