<p>A semiconductor laser device comprises a GaAs substrate (1), a first cladding layer (2) having either one of p-type electrical conductivity and n-type electrical conductivity, a first optical waveguide layer (3), an Inx2Ga1-x2As1-y2Py2 first barrier layer (4), an Inx3Ga1-x3As1-y3Py3 quantum well active layer (5), an Inx2Ga1-x2As1-y2Py2 second barrier layer (6), a second optical waveguide layer (7), and a second cladding layer (8) having the other electrical conductivity, the layers being overlaid in this order on the substrate (1). Each cladding layer (2,8) and each optical waveguide layer (3,7) have compositions, which are lattice matched with the substrate (1). Each of the first and second barrier layers (4,6) has a tensile strain with respect to the substrate (1) and is set such that a total layer thickness of the barrier layers may be 10nm to 30nm, and a product of a strain quantity of the tensile strain and the total layer thickness may be 0.05nm to 0.2nm. The active layer (5) has a composition, which is lattice matched with the substrate (1), or a composition, which has a tensile strain of at most 0.003 with respect to the substrate (1). <IMAGE></p> |
