A semiconductor laser device having two active-layer stripe structures
includes an n-InP substrate, an n-InP clad layer, a lower GRIN-SCH layer,
an active layer, an upper GRIN-SCH layer, a p-InP clad layer, and a
p-InGaAsP contact layer grown in this order, in a side cross section cut
along one of the stripe structure. A high-reflection film is disposed on
a reflection-side end surface, and a low-reflection film is disposed on
an emission-side end surface. A p-side electrode is disposed on only a
part of the upper surface of the p-InGaAsP contact layer so that a
current non-injection area is formed on an area absent the p-side
electrode.
