Abstract
A semiconductor laser device having light output monitoring light-receiving portion can be fabricated monolithically. A semiconductor laser element (LD) composed of a first cladding layer (22), an active layer (23) and a second cladding layer (24) is formed on a semiconductor substrate (21). A light-receiving portion (PD.sub.1) of a pn junction is formed on the semiconductor substrate (21) disposed behind the semiconductor laser element (LD) by diffusion or selective growth.
