Zusammenfassung:A rib waveguide type semiconductor laser includes a p-type high impurity concentration layer (5) formed between a p-upper cladding layer (4) and p-ohmic layer (6) and having an impurity concentration higher than the impurity concentration of the p-upper cladding layer (4) and p-ohmic layer (6). The high impurity concentration layer (5) acts to make small a discontinuous portion of the valence band between the p-upper cladding layer (4) and p-ohmic layer (6) and change the steep junction to a smoothly inclined junction, thereby lowering the voltage drop across the junction.
