Disclosed is a semiconductor laser light emitting device including: a stacked
film composed of a stack of group III nitride semiconductor films each containing
at least one kind selected from aluminum, gallium, indium, and boron; wherein an
upper portion of the stacked film is formed into a ridge-like stripe, to form a
current injection region; a current non-injection region formed on both sides of
the ridge-like stripe; and at least part of the current non-injection region is
made from a material expressed by a chemical formula AlxGa1-xN
(0x1.0). In this device, the component ratio "x" of Al is specified
at a value in a range of 0.3x1.0, so that the semiconductor laser
light emitting device is configured as an index guide type semiconductor laser
light emitting device; the component ratio "x" of Al is specified at a value in
a range of 0.15x0.30, so that the semiconductor laser light emitting
device is configured as a weak index type pulsation semiconductor laser light emitting
device; or the component ratio "x" of Al is specified at a value in a range of
0x0.15, so that the semiconductor laser light emitting device is
configured as a gain guide type laser light emitting device.
