Abstract

A tunable laser source apparatus including an external cavity has a semiconductor laser and a wavelength selector. The semiconductor laser includes a reflection surface, a surface with an anti-reflection film and an active layer. The selector selects from laser light emitted from the laser through the surface with the anti-reflection film and feeding laser light of a desired wavelength back to the laser through the surface with the anti-reflection film. The semiconductor laser has a window region formed between a tip portion of the active layer extending toward the surface with the anti-reflection film and the surface with the anti-reflection film, the window region allowing the laser light of the desired wavelength fed back from the selector to be coupling thereon, while dilating the beam size of a portion of the laser light which is reflected from the surface with the anti-reflection film and reach the tip portion film.
