Abstract
An optical semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate; a lower cladding layer formed over the semiconductor substrate; a quantum well active layer formed on the lower cladding layer; a diffraction grating layer formed over the quantum well active layer and having diffraction gratings formed in a surface thereof; and an upper cladding layer formed on the diffraction gratings of the diffraction grating layer. Further, a band gap in outer regions of the quantum well active layer that are adjacent to outer end surfaces of the optical semiconductor device is greater than the band gap in an inner region of the quantum well active layer that is located between the outer regions, and a thickness of one or more layers, which include the lower cladding layer and positioned between the semiconductor substrate and the quantum well active layer, is greater than or equal to 2.3 μm.
