ABSTRACT:
A vertical cavity of a rectangular shape having short and long sides is defined between first and second mirror layers. Thus, two resonant wavelengths are obtained in a vertical-to-surface optical semiconductor device having the vertical cavity. The resonant wavelengths are shifted in a long wavelength direction due to the heat generated in operation of the optical semiconductor device. A light of the shifted short wavelength emitted from the first optical semiconductor device is rotated in polarization plane by 90.degree., and is then received as a light of the non shifted long wavelength by the second optical semiconductor device.
