Abstract

A semiconductor optical amplifier includes: a substrate; a light source unit that is formed on the substrate; and an optical amplification unit that includes a conductive region extending, from the light source unit, in a predetermined direction along a surface of the substrate, and a nonconductive region around the conductive region. The optical amplification unit amplifies propagation light that propagates, from the light source unit, in the predetermined direction as slow light, and emits the propagation light that is amplified in an emission direction that intersects with the surface. The maximum optical power of the propagation light is larger than the maximum optical power in a vertical oscillation mode.
