A semiconductor laser device.

摘要

A semiconductor laser device with a resonator containing an active region for laser oscillating operation is disclosed which comprises a third-order diffraction grating with a periodic corrugation for producing feedback of laser light, the corrugation being of substantially rectangular shape, wherein the ratio of the width of each convex portion of the corrugation to the periodicity of the corrugation is in the range of 0.20 to 0.25, 0.40 to 0.60, or 0.70 to 0.95.
