Abstract
A semiconductor laser device for radiating a laser beam from a double heterostructure section in which injected carriers having an energy source of the laser beam are confined consists of a compound semiconductor substrate with a prescribed lattice constant for loading the double heterostructure section, a lattice mismatched active layer with a first lattice constant which is 0.5% to 2.0% larger than the lattice constant of the substrate in the double heterostructure section for radiating the laser beam, a lattice mismatched cladding layer with a second lattice constant which is 0.2% to 2.0% smaller than the lattice constant of the substrate for confining the injected carriers in the active layer, and a cladding layer for confining the injected carriers in the active layer by co-operating with the lattice mismatched cladding layer.
