Abstract
A semiconductor laser includes a first one-conductive type clad layer, a first active layer, a second other-conductive type clad layer, a third one-conductive type clad layer, a second active layer, and a fourth other-conductive type clad layer stacked in sequence. Either the second other-conductive type clad layer or the third one-conductive type clad layer has a thickness smaller than the thickness of a depletion layer of the p-n junction grown at the boundary between the second other-conductive type clad layer and the third one-conductive type clad layer when voltage is applied across the first one-conductive type clad layer and the fourth other-conductive type clad layer.
