Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor laser device having a stripe light emission region formed in an active layer, a bent portion formed in the active layer on a light end portion of the light emission region in a range of approximately the width of the light emission region, and a flat portion formed in the active layer the width of which is made larger than that of the light emission region inside of the end portion of the light emission region.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A semiconductor laser device having a resonant cavity and having a semiconductor substrate with a first electrode on its one major surface in which a first cladding layer, an active layer, a second cladding layer, a capping layer and a second electrode are formed on another major surface of said semiconductor substrate and a heterojunction is formed between said active layer and said first and second cladding layers respectively, comprising: (a) a stripe emission region formed in said active layer; (b) a concave or convex portion of said laser formed in said active layer at least on one light end of said light emission region for a range of approximately the width of said light emission region; and (c) a flat portion formed on said active layer and having a portion inside of the end portion of said light emission region and having a width which is wider than that of said light emission region.
