Abstract
A group of semiconductor layers of a first light emitting region( ) including an active layer( ), determined by a first wavelength of laser beam, sandwiched between two cladding layers( ) and( ) of which the band gap is greater than that of the active layer( ) are deposited on a semiconductor substrate . Similarly, another group of semiconductor layers of a second light emitting region( ) including an active layer( ), determined by a second wavelength of laser beam, sandwiched between two cladding layers( ) and( ) of which the band gap is greater than that of the active layer are deposited via a contact layer( ) on the first light emitting region( ). The first and the second light emitting region( ) and ( ) are aligned with each other along the perpendicular (vertical) to the semiconductor substrate( ). Accordingly, a multi-color semiconductor laser having multiple laser beam sources in their respective light emitting regions aligned along the vertical to the substrate can be fabricated by simple steps of production.
