Abstract: A semiconductor laser element includes: a semiconductor substrate; a semiconductor laminate; a first electrode in which a ridge portion of the semiconductor laminate is embedded; and a second electrode. A first region of a side surface of the first electrode is separated from a first end surface in such a manner to extend away from the first end surface as the first region extends away from the ridge portion to both sides. A shortest distance between a first side surface and the first region is smaller than each of a shortest distance between a third side surface and a third region and a shortest distance between a fourth side surface and a fourth region. The first region does not include a corner in a range satisfying D1 ≤ S1 and D1 ≤ S2.

Abstract: A laser module according to an embodiment includes a QCL element, a diffraction grating portion configured to diffract and reflect first light emitted from a first end face of the QCL element and return second light to the first end face, and a first portion configured to be disposed between the first end face and the diffraction grating portion, allow the first light and the second light to pass therethrough, and collimate the first light. When viewed from a Y-axis direction, the diffraction grating portion is inclined with respect to a Z-axis direction. A position of a beam waist of the first light collimated by the first portion in an X-axis direction is located between a position of one end of the diffraction grating portion in the Z-axis direction and a position of the other end of the diffraction grating portion in the Z-axis direction.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor laser device of an embodiment includes a first step of preparing a wafer and a second step of forming a device dividing groove by etching along a device dividing line. The device dividing groove has a first portion and a second portion. At least a portion of an inner surface of the device dividing groove formed by the first portion is inclined with a Z-axis direction such that a width of the device dividing groove in a Y-axis direction decreases from a first primary surface side toward a second primary surface side. An inclination angle of an inner surface of the first portion with respect to the Z-axis direction is larger than an inclination angle of an inner surface of the second portion with respect to the Z-axis direction.

Abstract: A quantum-cascade laser element includes: a semiconductor substrate; a semiconductor mesa formed on the semiconductor substrate to include an active layer having a quantum-cascade structure and to extend along a light waveguide direction; an embedding layer formed to interpose the semiconductor mesa along a width direction of the semiconductor substrate; a cladding layer formed at least on the semiconductor mesa; and a metal layer formed at least on the cladding layer. A thickness of the cladding layer is thinner in a second region located outside a first region in the width direction of the semiconductor substrate than in the first region of which at least a part overlaps the semiconductor mesa when viewed in a thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate. The metal layer extends over the first region and the second region.
