Abstract

The invention is directed to a semiconductor laser wherein the first embodiment is characterized in that the first upper portion cladding layer is assumed to be a double layer construction, the upper layer portion is assumed to be higher in carrier concentration than the lower layer portion, the series resistance component is restrained, so that the sequential direction voltage V.sub.F may be lowered without damaging the other characteristics such as oscillation start current I th and so on.
