A compound semiconductor laser of a III group nitride semiconductor of the present invention includes a first cladding layer 104 of a first conduction type formed on a substrate 101 , an active layer 106 formed on the first cladding layer, a second cladding layer 108 of a second conduction type formed on the active layer 106 , and a buried layer 110 formed on the second cladding layer 108 , the buried layer having an opening portion for constricting a current in a selected region of the active layer, wherein an upper portion of the second cladding layer 108 has a ridge portion, the ridge portion residing in the opening portion of the buried layer 110 , and the buried layer 110 does not substantially absorb light output from the active layer 106 , and the buried layer has a refractive index which is approximately identical with that of the second cladding layer 108.
