The semiconductor laser device includes: an activation layer having at least one first quantum dot layer and at least one second quantum dot layer having a longer emission wavelength than the first quantum dot layer. The gain spectrum of the active layer has the maximum values at the first wavelength and the second wavelength longer than the first wavelength corresponding to the emission wavelength of the first quantum dot layer and the emission wavelength of the second quantum dot layer, respectively. The maximum value of the gain spectrum at the first wavelength is defined as the first maximum value, and the maximum value of the gain spectrum at the second wavelength is defined as the second maximum value. The first maximum value is larger than the second maximum value.
