Abstract
A tunable semiconductor laser which is formed on a substrate 2 which has a first contact 14 on one surface and a third contact 16 on the opposite surface so as to supply the operating current which is laterally limited to a laser-active stripe through a barrier layer 4 l and including a second contact 15 on a ridge waveguide 11, 12, 13 so as to inject charge carriers into a tuning layer 9 mounted adjacent an active layer 6 and which is separated from the active layer by highly doped central layer 10 so as to allow tuning of the laser.
