Abstract

This invention provides a blue light semiconductor optical device capable of effectively oscillating in a temperature range above room temperature. A double hetero structure semiconductor optical device according to the invention is made of a compound semiconductor containing Zn and/or Cd as group II elements and S and/or Se and/or Te as group VI elements and comprises an active layer, a light confining layer and a cladding layer arranged on a semiconductor substrate as well as a multiquantum barrier structure having a strained superlattice layer in part of the cladding layer or the light confining layer for an effect of reflecting incident carriers as waves in phase conditions capable of allowing mutual enhancement of the incident and reflected waves.
