Abstract

A semiconductor laser device having a buried heterostructure which includes a multi-layered crystal structure, containing an active layer for laser oscillation, on a substrate, said multi-layered crystal structure having a striped mesa-portion, a multi-layered structure surrounding said mesa-portion and a burying layer disposed on an upper face of said striped mesa-portion. The unique structure results in a heterojunction at each side of the active layer.
