Abstract

Laser chips which are stably operated in a single mode result from a semiconductor laser device in which a diffraction grating is formed neighboring an active layer. The distribution of current to be injected into the active layer is controlled to a configuration which substantially corresponds to that of the distribution of the field intensity of light along the laser optical axis inside the active layer.
