A semiconductor laser device having two active-layer stripe structures includes an n-InP substrate, an n-InP clad layer, a lower GRIN-SCH layer, an active layer, an upper GRIN-SCH layer, a p-InP clad layer, and a p-InGaAsP contact layer grown in this order, in a side cross section cut along one of the stripe structure. A high-reflection film is disposed on a reflection-side end surface, and a low-reflection film is disposed on an emission-side end surface. A p-side electrode is disposed on only a part of the upper surface of the p-InGaAsP contact layer so that a current non-injection area is formed on an area absent the p-side electrode.

A semiconductor laser module includes a polarization direction transforming part which transforms polarization directions of first and second laser beams such that they are orthogonal to each other even if a polarization dependent optical isolator is utilized in the semiconductor laser module. The configuration allows the two laser beams to propagate through the birefringence element to the output port without each splitting into an ordinary ray and an extraordinary ray on entering the birefringence element, and therefore free from decrease of optical power reaching the output port. Thus, high power semiconductor laser modules can be provided.

A semiconductor laser module includes a single semiconductor laser device having a first light emitting stripe and at least one other light emitting stripe which are aligned to respectively emit a first laser beam and at least one other laser beam through one edge surface. It also includes a first lens positioned so that the first laser beam and the at least one other laser beam emitted from the semiconductor laser device are incident thereon, the first lens configured to separate the first laser beam and the at least one other laser beam. A beam synthesizing member is included and has a first input part on which the first laser beam is incident, at least one other input part on which the at least one other laser beam is incident, and an output part from which the first laser beam emerging from the first input part and the at least one other laser beam emerging from the at least one other input part are multiplexed and emitted as a multiplexed laser beam. An optical fiber is positioned to receive the multiplexed laser beam therein.
