Abstract
A semiconductor laser light source includes a semiconductor substrate formed of a first conductivity type semiconductor material, a lower cladding layer formed of the first conductivity type semiconductor material on the semiconductor substrate, a waveguide layer on the lower cladding layer, and an upper cladding layer formed of a second conductivity type semiconductor material on the waveguide layer. The waveguide layer includes a core area and rib areas thinner than the core area on either side of the core area. The core area has a quantum dot active layer, and the rib areas have no quantum dot layer. The waveguide layer forms a laser part having the core area with a constant width and a spot size converter having the core area with a taper width from a side adjacent to the laser part toward an end of the spot size converter.
