Abstract

In a semiconductor laser device, a Ga.sub.1-y Al.sub.y As cladding layer of a conduction type is provided on at least one principal plane of an active layer, while a Ga.sub.1-Z Al.sub.Z As current blocking layer of the other conduction type is provided on the cladding layer and has a stripe-like window. The AlAs mode fractions Y and Z has a relation, Z>Y. The semiconductor laser device has low noises and a low operating current value.
