A semiconductor laser (LD) is a device that generates laser oscillation by passing current through a semiconductor. The mechanism of light emission is similar to that of a light-emitting diode (LED), where light is produced by flowing current in the forward direction of the pn junction. The forward direction means connecting the power supply so that the p-side is positive and the n-side is negative, allowing electrons to flow in from the n-side and holes from the p-side. When these two collide at the junction, light is generated as electrons fall into holes. The structure of the LD consists of an active layer (emission layer) sandwiched between n-type and p-type cladding layers, built on an n-type substrate, allowing current to flow from the electrodes. The end faces of the active layer serve as mirrors, reflecting light. When a voltage is applied in the forward direction, electrons flow from the n-type cladding layer and holes from the p-type cladding layer into the active layer, where they recombine to produce light. This light is not yet laser light; since the refractive index of the cladding layer is lower than that of the active layer, the light is confined within the active layer. Additionally, the end faces of the active layer act as mirrors, causing the light to be amplified as it travels back and forth within the active layer, resulting in stimulated emission (a phenomenon where strong light of coherent phase is generated), which produces laser light. The key difference between this process and that of an LED is that in the case of an LED, the emitted light is released directly to the outside without being reflected back.

basic information
The emission wavelength of a laser diode (LD) is fundamentally determined by the bandgap energy of the semiconductor used in the active layer. However, when examining the spectrum of lasers in detail, differences can be observed depending on the type of LD. The simplest structure of LD is used in many applications such as optical pickups for CDs, DVDs, and BDs, laser printers, and fiber laser excitation. A characteristic feature is the mirror surfaces placed at both ends of the active layer, referred to as cleaved surfaces. The wavelength of the laser light is primarily determined by the bandgap energy of the active layer. Due to the bandgap of the active layer, it oscillates at multiple wavelengths. Oscillating at multiple wavelengths results in laser light that is unsuitable as a signal light source for optical communication. This is because when transmitting digital signals through optical fibers, the signal waveform spreads, causing errors, making it unsuitable for long-distance communication. This type is referred to as a Fabry-Pérot (FP) LD. The DFB laser (Distributed Feedback Laser) is a single-wavelength laser. Its mechanism involves creating a diffraction grating at the boundary between the active layer and the cladding layer, which selectively amplifies light at wavelengths that are twice the width of the diffraction grating, resulting in a single-wavelength laser suitable for long-distance, high-capacity optical communication.
