    Abstract: A multi-layer printed board including signal layers, each signal layer including a signal line, a through-hole, and a ground through-hole. The signal layer includes a land connecting the through-hole and the signal line. An external periphery of the land has a first portion farthest from a center of the land, and a second portion extending a shorter distance from the center of the land than the first portion. A portion of the external periphery of the land opposite to the ground through-hole closest to the center of the land is the second portion. Consequently, impedance matching can be improved even if a signal frequency is high.

  • Patent number: 5491709
    Abstract: In a semiconductor laser device according to the invention, a clad layer includes first clad layers, each of which has a greater band gap than an active layer and has a thickness of 0.003 to 0.3 .mu.m, and second clad layers each of which has a lower refractive index than the active layer, and the first clad layers are disposed nearer to the active layer than the second clad layers, respectively. In this structure, the first clad layers confine carriers in the active layer while the second clad layers confine the light in the active layer. Since each of the first clad layers is formed of a thin film, the carriers are hard to move outwardly from the active layer due to the tunnel phenomenon thereof and, even if the lattice constant thereof is slightly different, the first clad layer can be lattice matched to a substrate. For this reason, the materials of the second clad layers can be selected without taking into consideration the size of the band gap thereof.
