Abstract
According to this invention, in a semiconductor laser, an n-type InGaAlP cladding layer, an InGaP active layer, and a p-type InGaAlP cladding layer are sequentially grown on an n-type GaAs substrate to form a double hetero structure. The active layer is constituted by an ordered structure having regularity in the <111> directions, and the p-type cladding layer is constituted by a disordered structure. Band discontinuity in conduction band between the active layer and the p-type cladding layer is increased to improve the temperature characteristics of the laser.
