Abstract

A semiconductor laser device comprises an n-type cladding layer, an active layer formed on the n-type cladding layer and having a quantum well structure including one or a plurality of quantum well layers, a p-type cladding layer comprising a flat portion formed on the active layer and a stripe-shaped ridge portion on the flat portion, and a current blocking layer formed on the flat portion so as to cover the side surface of the ridge portion and formed on a region on the upper surface of the ridge portion from one of facets of a cavity to a position at a predetermined distance therefrom.
