A semiconductor laser device, which has a protective film at an end
surface thereof, is adaptable to demands for higher outputs or shorter
wavelengths. The semiconductor laser device according to the present
invention includes a dielectric film on at least one end surface of an
optical resonator, in which the dielectric film includes a first
dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer comprised of the same
elements and disposed in sequence from the end surface side of the
semiconductor, the first dielectric layer including a layer made of a
single crystal material and the second dielectric layer including a layer
made of an amorphous material.
