Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting device includes a first conductive clad layer that is group III-V semiconductor mixed crystal, an active layer, and a second conductive clad layer. The second conductive clad layer has a laminated structure of at least three layers including a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer disposed in this order closer to the active layer. The second layer and the third layer are included in a striped ridge, and the second layer is positioned at a skirt of the ridge. The surface of the first layer is a flat part at both sides of the ridge. When Al compositions of the first layer, second layer, and third layer are X1, X2, and X3, respectively, the relation X2>X1, X3 is satisfied. When film thicknesses of the first layer, second layer, and third layer are D1, D2, and D3, the relation D2<D3 is satisfied.
