Abstract

A semiconductor laser is produced by forming a laser activation section and a light emitting section having an InGaAsP layer as a quantum well on a GaAs substrate according to metal organic chemical vapor deposition by using a selective area growth mask, in such a manner that the laser activation section and the light emitting section have different film thicknesses. The laser activation section includes a laser activation layer whose oscillation wavelength is set to 0.8 to 1.1 .mu.m, and the light emitting section includes an optical waveguide layer having a broader forbidden band than the laser activation layer.
