Abstract
A semiconductor optical device in which a light emitting region that emits light and a reflecting region that reflects the light to the light emitting region side are integrated includes a core layer that is provided in the light emitting region, and a waveguide layer that is provided in the reflecting region, that is optically coupled to the core layer, and that has a band gap that is larger than energy of the light. The reflecting region has a first thyristor that overlaps the waveguide layer in a direction that intersects a propagation direction of the light.
