Abstract
In a semiconductor laser device comprising a semiconductor laser main body having an active layer formed between a pair of cladding layers, and a non-absorbing layer of InGaP formed on the facets of the semiconductor laser main body and having a band gap greater than the band gap of the active layer, PA1 a diffusion blocking layer of, for example, Si, SiN or Ge is formed on the surface of the non-absorbing layer, and a di-electric protective layer of, for example, AlO.sub.x, SiO.sub.x, SiN.sub.x or MgO.sub.x for regulating reflectance at the facets and protecting the non-absorbing layer is formed on the diffusion blocking layer.
