A semiconductor laser device.

摘要

There is disclosed a semiconductor laser device with a strip-channeled substrate (1) and a double-heterostructure multi-layered crystal (2,3,4) disposed over the substrate (1), the multi-layered crystal containing an active layer (3) for laser oscillation, which semiconductor laser device comprises: an optical waveguide that is formed within the active layer (3) just above the striped channel (21) of the substrate (1) based on a decrease in the effective refractive index due to the striped channel (21), the outside of which absorbs a laser beam produced in the active layer (3); a striped mesa (23) that is formed by the removal of the portions of the multi-layered crystal corresponding to the outside of the optical waveguide; and a pluraltiy of burying layers that are grown into the removed portions to prevent the diffusion of carrier in the transverse direction within the active layer (3).
