The laser semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first clad
layer of a first conductivity type, an active layer, a second clad layer of a second
conductivity type, and a protective layer of the second conductivity type, and
peak wavelength of photo luminescence of an active layer (window region) in a region
near an end surface of a laser resonator is smaller than peak wavelength of photo
luminescence of the active layer (active region) in an inner region of the laser
resonator. In the active layer in the region near the end surface of the laser
resonator, first impurity atoms of a second conductivity and second impurity atoms
of the second conductivity exist mixedly, with the concentration of the first impurity
atoms being higher than that of the second impurity atoms.
