    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a buffer layer, a gradient layer, an active layer, a window layer, and an optical filtering layer. The substrate includes a first element and a second element. The buffer layer is disposed on the substrate. The gradient layer is formed on the buffer layer, and includes sublayers. Each sublayer includes the first, second, and third elements. For each sublayer, a lattice constant thereof is adjusted by changing a ratio of the second element to the third element. The active layer is formed on the gradient layer, and includes the first, second, and third elements. The window layer is formed on the active layer. The optical filtering layer includes the first, second, and third elements, and is formed on the window layer to block a portion of light having a wavelength in a predetermined wavelength range.

    Abstract: A non-diffusion type photodiode is described and has: a substrate, a buffer layer, a light absorption layer, an intermediate layer, and a multiplication/window layer. The buffer layer is disposed on the substrate. The light absorption layer is disposed on the buffer layer. The intermediate layer is disposed on the light absorption layer and has a first boundary, wherein the intermediate layer is an I-type semiconductor layer or a graded refractive index layer. The multiplication/window layer is disposed on the intermediate layer and has a second boundary, wherein in a top view, the first boundary surrounds the second boundary, and a distance between the first boundary and the second boundary is greater than or equal to 1 micrometer. The non-diffusion type photodiode can reduce generation of dark current.

    Abstract: A semiconductor laser apparatus is provided and has a substrate, a first type cladding layer, a first type waveguide layer, an active layer, a second type waveguide layer, a second type cladding layer, and a capping layer disposed in sequence. The active layer has a light producing portion and a light emitting portion. A laser produced by the light producing portion, emits along a direction from the light producing portion toward the light emitting portion. The light emitting portion includes a first inactive region, a light emitting region, and a second inactive region. A refractive index of the light emitting region is lower than a refractive index of the first inactive region, the refractive index of the light emitting region is lower than a refractive index of the second inactive region, and width of a first part of the light emitting region continuously increases along the direction.

    Abstract: A light detecting device includes a substrate that has a lattice constant. A buffer layer is disposed on the substrate. A gradient layer is formed on the buffer layer opposite to the substrate, and includes a plurality of sublayers that have respectively lattice constants each of which is greater than the lattice constant of the substrate. The sublayers are arranged in a manner that the lattice constants of the sublayers undergo a gradual increase in lattice constant in a direction away from the substrate. A barrier layer is formed on the gradient layer opposite to the buffer layer, and has a lattice constant which is greater than that of the substrate and no smaller than the lattice constants of the sublayers. An absorption layer is formed on the barrier layer opposite to the gradient layer.
