Description of the Invention (I) The present invention relates to a back-to-back dual-wavelength semiconductor laser element 'and, in particular, it is applicable to a laser that requires two different wavelengths. Back-to-back dual-wavelength semiconductor laser element for light-emitting system. In recent years, the 'Semiconductor Zhao' laser component has been used more and more widely and plays a pivotal role. For example, in optical fiber communication systems, semiconductor laser components are used to generate laser light, which is used as the optical signal required in optical fiber communication systems. For another example, in a Digital Video Disk driver (DVD driver), a semiconductor laser element in an optical pickup head is used to generate laser light. After focusing on the disc, the laser light is reflected by the disc. Read the data on the disc smoothly >> In the optical communication system, if multi-frequency division is used to transmit the optical signal, two types of laser light of semiconductor laser elements with different wavelengths need to be used. And in the digital audio and video optical disc drive, if you need to read DVD discs and compact discs / recordable discs (Compact-Disk / Compact-Disk-Recordable (CD / CD-R)), The laser light of two types of semiconductor laser elements with different wavelengths needs to be used with different optical paths to achieve the purpose of reading the disc. In the transmission method, because the wavelength of the light emitted by a semiconducting chirped laser element is single, when two types of semiconductor laser elements with different wavelengths are used, it is usually necessary to use two semiconductor laser elements with two different wavelengths at the same time. Two different optical pickup heads of a semiconductor laser element with a light wavelength to achieve the desired function. However, this will definitely increase the cost, and the design of the optical path will be more complicated than the semiconductor laser device using only a single wavelength.

The contact layer 112, the contact layer 124, and the substrate 100 are bias planes. The contact layer 112 and the substrate 100 are used to irradiate the first semiconductor laser. The structure layer provides a bias voltage: the contact layer 124 and the substrate 100 are used to provide a bias voltage to the second semiconductor laser structure layer. When the contact layer 112 and the substrate 100 are biased, the active layer 106 emits light; and when the contact layer 124 and the substrate 100 are biased, the active layer 118 emits light. Among them, the substrate may be a P-type substrate, and the contact layer 112 may be an N-type contact. 6 This paper size is applicable to China's "Home Furnishing (CNS > A4 Specification (210 × 297)), printed by the Ministry of Intellectual Property, Zhengong Consumer Cooperative. 4430 1 7 A7 __.__ B7 5. Description of the invention (6) layer, the contact layer 124 may be a P-type contact layer, or the substrate is an N-type substrate, the contact layer 112 is a P-type contact layer, and the contact layer 124 is an N-type contact And the thickness of the 'contact layer 112 will determine whether the back-to-back dual-wavelength semiconductor laser device can effectively operate. When the contact layer 112 and the substrate 100 are forward-biased', a current will be generated between the contact layer 112 and the substrate 100. However, if the thickness of the contact layer 112 becomes larger, the distance corresponding to the current flowing becomes longer, which makes the equivalent resistance value larger. In this way, the amount of current will decrease and affect the light emitting intensity of the active layer 106. Similarly, When the contact layer 112 and the contact layer 124 are biased, a current will be generated between the contact layer 112 and the contact layer 124. However, if the thickness of the contact layer 112 becomes smaller, the cross-sectional area of the corresponding current flow becomes smaller, so that The equivalent resistance value becomes larger. Therefore, the amount of current will decrease and affect the luminous intensity of the active layer 118. Therefore, the thickness of the contact layer 112 must be appropriately selected to achieve the best luminous effect. The thickness of the contact layer 112 can be calculated or tested. The best value is obtained, for example, the thickness of the contact layer il2 in this embodiment is 0.2 to 2 mm.
