Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor laser element including: preparing a wafer; forming first grooves on at least one of an upper surface and a lower surface of the wafer, each of the first grooves being spaced apart from the optical waveguide formed in the wafer and extending in a direction intersecting the optical waveguide in a plan view; forming second grooves on the one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the wafer, each of the second grooves extending in a direction intersecting a straight line extended from each of the first grooves, and each of the second grooves having a smooth surface compared with the first grooves; dividing the wafer along the first grooves to obtain a plurality of laser bars; and dividing the laser bars in a direction intersecting an extending direction of the first grooves to obtain the semiconductor laser elements.
