Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize an optical semiconductor device which emits beams in which polarized wave dependency is suppressed and temporally stable outputting is made. SOLUTION: This optical semiconductor device 10 is an optical semiconductor device emitting beams each having an emitted light center wavelength of not less than 0.9 μm and not more than 1.2 μm, comprises an InxGa1-xAs substrate (X≠1) 11, and a tensile strain quantum well active layer 15. Generally, this optical semiconductor device has a gain for a TE mode. The optical semiconductor device 10 increases the gain for a TM mode by introducing a tensile strain, so that the optical gains for the TE mode and the TM mode are balanced.
