A semiconductor laser device includes a red-light-emission portion and an
infrared-light-emission portion on a single substrate. The
red-light-emission portion has a structure in which an AlGaInP-based
active layer is sandwiched by a first cladding layer of a first
conductivity type having a striped portion and a second cladding layer of
a second conductivity type. The infrared-light-emission portion has a
structure in which an AlGaAs-based active layer is sandwiched by a third
cladding layer of the first conductivity type having a striped portion
and a fourth cladding layer of the second conductivity type. The first,
second, third, and fourth cladding layers are all made of an
AlGaInP-based material. When in these layers, the Al:Ga contents are
represented by X1:1-X1, X2:1-X2, X3:1-X3, and X4:1-X4, respectively,
X1.gtoreq.X2 and X3.gtoreq.X4 are satisfied.
