Abstract
In a semiconductor laser device including a multilayered structure being formed of a plurality of semiconductor layers made of a plurality of group III-V compounds, and having a pair of opposite light-exit end facets; and a reflectance control layer being formed on at least one of the pair of light-exit end facets, and having at least two sublayers. In the semiconductor laser device, a region near a boundary between the multilayered structure and one of the at least two sublayers closest to the semiconductor layers of the reflectance control layer has an oxygen concentration of atomic percent (atm %) or below.
