- Abstract
- A 1.55 �m SLD having a laser diode (LD) region and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) region, and a method of fabricating the same, are disclosed. The SLD includes: an InP substrate having a LD region and a SOA region for amplifying light emitted from the LD region; an optical waveguide having a BRS (buried ridge strip) structure having an active layer of resonant strip pattern formed on the InP substrate and extending from the SOA region to the LD region; a first electrode formed on the active layer in the SOA region, a second electrode formed on the active layer in the LD region and electrically isolated from the first electrode; and a current blocking region interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode in order to electrically isolate the first electrode and the second electrode from each other
