Abstract
The external resonator type semiconductor laser of the present invention includes a semiconductor laser element, a reflection member having a reflecting mirror surface for feeding back to the laser element a laser beam emitted from an emitting end surface of the semiconductor laser element, and a mount member for fixedly mounting the laser element and reflection member thereon. The coefficient of linear expansion of the mount member is adapted to be smaller than the coefficient of linear expansion of the semiconductor laser element and reflection member so that the distance between the emitting surface and the reflecting surface (i.e. the external resonator length) decreases with a rise in temperature.
