Abstract

A semiconductor laser device includes an active layer having a multiquantum well (MQW) structure including well layers and barrier layers, each well layer being disposed between a pair of barrier layers. In this structure, the barrier layers have respective band gap energies that gradually decrease from a largest value in a central part of the MQW structure toward interfaces of the MQW structure with other layers of the laser and the well layers have respective band gap energies that gradually increase from a smallest value in the central part of the MQW structure toward the interfaces. A semiconductor laser device that produces uniform charge carrier injection, has a high thermal electron emission efficiency, and a broad modulation bandwidth is realized.
