Abstract

The present invention relates to a semiconductor laser apparatus having a metal body which efficiently cools a semiconductor laser element, in which joining of copper-made members coated with DLC layers and prevention of corrosion in the vicinity of joined portions are possible. The semiconductor laser apparatus has a metal body as a heat sink for cooling the semiconductor laser element. The metal body is constituted by a plurality of copper-made members, and the surfaces of each copper-made members are continuously coated with a diamond carbon layer except for regions corresponding to an exposed region in which the semiconductor laser element is mounted.
