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.

Claim (Index 3):
The optical coupling structure between an optical fiber and a semiconductor laser according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the intermediate layer is a component softer than the submount or the semiconductor laser.
