Patent attributes
A low reflective film is formed of, in sequence from a side in contact with a laser chip, a first dielectric film of a refractive index n1 and a thickness d1, a second dielectric film of a refractive index n2 and a thickness d2, a third dielectric film of a refractive index n3 and a thickness d3, and a fourth dielectric film of a refractive index n4 and a thickness d4, specifically, aluminum oxide Al2O3 with a refractive index n1=1.638 is used for the first dielectric film, silicon oxide SiO2 with a refractive index n2=n4=1.489 for the second and fourth dielectric films, tantalum oxide Ta2O5 with a refractive index n3=2.063 for the third dielectric film, respectively, resulting in a semiconductor laser device with a reflectance which is stably controllable.
