Abstract: A semiconductor laser device includes: a first conductivity side semiconductor layer, an active layer; and a second conductivity side semiconductor layer. The second conductivity side semiconductor layer includes a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer, the first semiconductor layer being closer to the active layer than the second semiconductor layer is. The second semiconductor layer defines a width of a current injection region for injecting current into an optical waveguide. The current injection region includes a width varying region in which a width varies. S1>S2, where S1 denotes a width of the width varying region on a front end face side, and S2 denotes a width of the width varying region on a rear end face side.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser device lases in a multiple transverse mode and includes a stacked structure where a first conductivity-side semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity-side semiconductor layer are stacked above a substrate. The second conductivity-side semiconductor layer includes a current block layer having an opening that delimits a current injection region. Side faces as a pair are formed in portions of the stacked structure that range from part of the first conductivity-side semiconductor layer to the second conductivity-side semiconductor layer. The active layer has a second width greater than a first width of the opening. The side faces in at least part of the first conductivity-side semiconductor layer are inclined to the substrate. A maximum intensity position in a light distribution of light guided in the stacked structure, in a direction of the normal to the substrate, is within the first conductivity-side semiconductor layer.
