This invention relates to a semiconductor laser device including a semiconductor laser element with an exit surface from which laser radiation can emerge, a collimating lens means which can reduce the divergence of the laser radiation emerging from the exit surface at least with respect to the first direction (Y) which is essentially perpendicular to the exit direction (Z) of the laser radiation, the semiconductor laser device furthermore including an auxiliary body which is permanently connected both to the semiconductor laser element and also to the collimating lens means. Furthermore, this invention relates to a semiconductor laser module of a semiconductor laser element, an auxiliary body and a collimating lens means and a process for producing the semiconductor laser means.
