US Patent 7633987 Semiconductor laser device and manufacturing method thereof

A semiconductor laser device includes a first semiconductor laser element and a second semiconductor laser element. The first semiconductor laser element has a first end face window structure that is a region including first impurities formed near an end face, and the second semiconductor laser element has a second end face window structure that is a region including second impurities formed near an end face. The distance from a lower end of a first active layer to a lower end of the first end face window structure is shorter than the distance from a lower end of a second active layer to a lower end of the second end face window structure.
