    摘要: According to an aspect of the present invention, a nitride semiconductor laser device includes a nitride semiconductor active layer, and a stripe-shaped waveguide for guiding light generated in the active layer. At least one pair of light-absorbing films are provided in at least local regions on the opposite sides of the stripe-shaped waveguide, to reach a distance within 0.3 μm from the waveguide. According to another aspect of the present invention, a gan-based semiconductor laser device includes first conductivity type semiconductor layers, a semiconductor active layer and second conductivity type semiconductor layers stacked sequentially. The laser device further includes a ridge stripe provided to cause a refractive index difference for confinement of light in a lateral direction crossing a longitudinal direction of a cavity, and a current-introducing window portion provided on the ridge stripe. The current-introducing window portion includes a narrow portion that is locally narrowed compared to the width of the ridge stripe.

    摘要: A nitride semiconductor laser device using a group III nitride semiconductor also as a substrate offers excellent operation characteristics and a long laser oscillation life. In a layered structure of a group III nitride semiconductor formed on a GaN substrate, a laser optical waveguide region is formed elsewhere than right above a dislocation-concentrated region extending so as to vertically penetrate the substrate, and electrodes are formed on the top surface of the layered structure and on the bottom surface of the substrate elsewhere than right above or below the dislocation-concentrated region. In a portion of the top surface of the layered structure and in a portion of the bottom surface of the substrate right above and below the dislocation-concentrated region, dielectric layers may be formed to prevent the electrodes from making contact with those regions.
