Semiconductor optical device with active layer of quantum well structure, use method thereof, light source apparatus including the same, and optical communication system using the same
An optical semiconductor device includes a substrate and an active region formed on the substrate. The active region includes a plurality of quantum well layers containing at least one tensile-strained well layer, and the plurality of quantum well layers include a plurality of quantum well layers whose band gaps are different from each other. Such an active region makes it possible to expand a wavelength range over which TE-mode and TM-mode gains balance with each other or are approximately equal to each other.
