Abstract
An optical semiconductor device including an optical waveguide; a light absorbing region coupled to the optical waveguide; a first conductive region and a second conductive region disposed at both sides of the light absorbing region so as to sandwich the light absorbing region; and a conductor coupled to the first conductive region and the second conductive region to let the first conductive region and the second conductive region short-circuit. With this configuration, the optical semiconductor device provides effects that absorption saturation is less likely to occur even if the light intensity increases, so that reflection return light can be reliably suppressed without using an external power source.
