Abstract
An optical semiconductor device includes an InP substrate; an active layer disposed above the InP substrate; a n-type semiconductor layer disposed below the active layer; and a p-type clad layer disposed above the active layer, wherein the p-type clad layer includes one or more p-type InAlP layers, the Al composition x of each of the one or more p-type InAlP layers is equal to or greater than a value corresponding to the doping concentration of a p-type dopant, and the absolute value of the average strain amount of the whole of the p-type clad layer is equal to or less than the absolute value of a critical strain amount obtained by Matthews' relational expression, using the entire layer thickness of the whole of the p-type clad layer as a critical layer thickness.
