A method of manufacturing a distributed feedback type semiconductor laser comprises a first cladding layer, an active layer disposed on the first cladding layer, a guiding layer disposed on the active layer and a second cladding layer disposed on the guiding layer respectively, in which a grating is disposed on the guiding layer, wherein the method comprises, a step of forming a predetermined material layer on the guiding layer, a step of selectively etching the material layer and the guiding layer until the guiding layer is at least partially exposed thereby forming undulation substantially in a trigonal waveform to the surface of the material layer and the guiding layer, and a step of forming the second cladding layer so as to cover the unevenness. A distributed feedback type semiconductor laser having a grating with an intense coupling the light can be manufactured easily and at a good reproducibility.
