摘要:
In a semiconductor laser device 100, an n-type InGaAsP light confinement layer 2, a multiple quantum well active layer 3, a p-type InGaAsP light confinement layer 4, and a p-type InP cladding layer 5 are formed on an n-type InP substrate 1 to be in a mesa structure extending in stripes along the cavity length direction. Moreover, regions on both sides of this striped mesa are buried with a p-type InP current blocking layer 6 and an n-type InP current blocking layer 7. Furthermore, a p-type InP burying layer 8 and a p-type InGaAsP contact layer 9 are formed thereon. The oscillation wavelength of the semiconductor laser device 100 is around 1.3 .mu.m. The stripe width of the active layer 3 is such that the width W1 at the front end face and the width W2 at the rear end face have a relationship of W1
