Abstract

A semiconductor laser device comprises a semiconductor layer stack consisting of a first clad layer, an active layer, and a second clad layer which are successively stacked on a semiconductor substrate, and a light absorbing layer and a current blocking layer which are stacked on the second clad layer; the semiconductor assembly including a stripe shaped groove which extends from the surface of the semiconductor layer stack to the surface or interior of the second cladding layer, and another semiconductor layer having a forbidden band width greater than the active layer and the same conductivity type as the second clad layer which is embedded into the groove by chemical vapor deposition method.
