Abstract
In a semiconductor laser for analog modulation, intermodulation distortion at high temperatures and/or at high outputs is reduced. In a DC-PBH semiconductor laser, the width (Wm) of the electrode mesa 11 is set at 10 .mu.m or less, and the width of each recombination layer 2 is set at 0.1 .mu.m or more. Further, the distance between one end of the active layer 1 and one end of each current-blocking layer 5 is set at 0.01 .mu.m to 0.5 .mu.m.
