Abstract

An inventive semiconductor laser diode includes a Group III nitride semiconductor layered structure having a major crystal growth plane defined by a non-polar or semi-polar-plane. The Group III nitride semiconductor layered structure includes: a p-type cladding layer and an n-type cladding layer; an In-containing p-type guide layer and an In-containing n-type guide layer held between the p-type cladding layer and the n-type cladding layer; and an In-containing light emitting layer held between the p-type guide layer and the n-type guide layer.
