Abstract

Disclosed herein is a semiconductor laser element comprising a first cladding layer, an optical guiding layer, an active layer and a second cladding layer disposed in this order or in reverse order on a semiconductor substrate, a refractive index of the optical guiding layer being larger than both refractive indexes of the first and second cladding layers, and a refractive index of the optical guiding layer is smaller than that of the active layer but larger than that of the first cladding layer, and a burying layer having a refractive index smaller than that of at least one of the first and second cladding layers being disposed on side faces other than laser-emitting faces of the optical guiding layer and the active layer.
