Abstract: A semiconductor laser module includes a semiconductor laser that outputs laser light; an optical fiber that guides the laser light; a lens that couples the laser light, which is output from the semiconductor laser, with the optical fiber; a base that is substantially tabular in shape and that has the semiconductor laser, the optical fiber, and the lens fixed thereon either directly or indirectly; and a housing which houses the base and fixes the base either directly or indirectly. Among faces of the base, a face on a side that is fixed either directly or indirectly to the housing includes a junction plane that is joined to the housing either directly or indirectly, and a detachment plane that is detached to remain unfixed from the housing.

A package for an optical device includes a package main unit that accommodates an optical device; a pipe portion that is provided in the package main unit and through which an optical fiber optically coupled to the optical device is inserted; and a fixing portion that is provided in the package main unit and to which one end of the optical fiber is fixed, and the pipe portion includes a first pipe section having a base end fixed to the package main unit and a second pipe section joined to a tip of the first pipe section, having a higher thermal expansion coefficient than the first pipe section, to be sealed by a sealing material.

Abstract: A disclosed semiconductor laser module includes a semiconductor laser device; a waveguide optical function device that has an incidence end on which laser light emitted from the semiconductor laser device is incident and that guides the incident light; and a protrusion that is provided on an extension line of a light path of the laser light emitted from the semiconductor laser device, the extension line extending beyond the incidence end.

Abstract: A disclosed semiconductor laser module includes a semiconductor laser device; a semiconductor optical amplifier configured to receive laser light emitted from the semiconductor laser device and amplify the laser light that has been received; and a first light receiving device that measures an intensity of a part of the laser light emitted from the semiconductor laser device, for monitoring a wavelength of the laser light, wherein the semiconductor optical amplifier is located rearward in relation to a light receiving surface of the first light receiving device along a propagation direction of the laser light emitted from the semiconductor device.

Abstract: A non-plated region is formed in a certain range from an end of a submount. The non-plated region is a portion where a plating layer is not provided, and thus a substrate of the submount is exposed. An intermediate layer is formed on the plating layer. Furthermore, a plating layer is formed on the intermediate layer. A semiconductor laser is formed on the plating layer. The position of an end of the semiconductor laser substantially coincides with the position of an end of the plating layer (the intermediate layer). That is, even in a case where there is a deviation between an end face of the intermediate layer and an end face of the semiconductor laser, the amount of this deviation is sufficiently smaller than the amount by which the intermediate layer is set back from an end face of the submount.
