Abstract
A semiconductor laser comprises: a semiconductor substrate; a semiconductor structure part that is formed on the substrate; a surface electrode formed on the structure part opposite to the substrate; and a conductive member formed on the surface electrode opposite to the substrate. The conductive member is such that part of or the whole of a side face thereof on an emission facet side, the side face being one side face in an x-direction parallel to an extending direction of an active layer, is formed to be away from an emission facet in the structure part toward a side of the other facet opposed to the emission facet in the x-direction. In the semiconductor laser, a receding portion is formed such that at least part of the conductive member recedes toward the side of the other facet in the x-direction from the emission facet.
