Abstract
A laser diode in accordance with the present invention comprises: a substrate (11) of p-GaAs; a current constricting layer (12) of n-GaAs formed with a slit (13) over the substrate, wherein the slit is opened through the constricting layer and separates the constricting layer into two areas; a liner(s) (21) of p-GaAs formed on at least both the inner side walls of the slit; a lower clad layer (14) of p-Ga.sub.0.6 Al.sub.0.4 As formed over the constricting layer, burying the slit; an active layer (15) of p-Ga.sub.0.9 Al.sub.0.1 As which is formed over the lower clad layer and has a refractive index higher than that of the lower clad layer; and an upper clad layer of n-Ga.sub.0.6 Al.sub.0.4 As which is formed over the active layer and has a refractive index lower than that of the active layer.
