Zusammenfassung:A semiconductor laser device includes a semiconductor layer portion having an active layer and performs multi-mode emission of laser light. The semiconductor layer portion includes a first region, and a second region located closer to a facet on a laser light radiation side than the first region. The first region and the second region include a stripe region in which the laser light is guided, and an optical confinement effect of the laser light to the stripe region in a horizontal direction of the second region is less than that of the stripe region. Accordingly, a semiconductor laser device having a favorable coupling efficiency to an optical fiber is provided.
