A semiconductor light emitting device has in sequence on a semiconductor substrate, a multilayer reflection film, a semiconductor layer, and a quantum well active layer. A distance between an upper surface of the multilayer reflection film and a lower surface of the quantum well active layer is 2lambda/n or less, where lambda is a light emission wavelength and n is an average refractive index of the semiconductor layer disposed in between the multilayer reflection film and the quantum well active layer. A phase difference between a reflected ray of light reflected by the multilayer reflection film and an emitted ray of light from the quantum well active layer is a multiple of 2pi. The semiconductor light emitting device stably obtains a specified peak wavelength even when there is slight variance in the distance between the upper surface of the multilayer reflection film and the lower surface of the quantum well active layer.
