ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor laser device includes a semiconductor laser element having a quantum well structure active layer having n levels of quantum states (n.gtoreq.2) from the first quantum level to the n-th quantum level in which the front facet reflectivity and the rear facet reflectivity are asymmetrical so that oscillation can occur at the n-th quantum level, a reflecting mirror having a reflectivity that causes oscillation of the semiconductor element to occur at a quantum level lower than the n-th quantum level, and a reflecting mirror moving unit for positioning the reflecting mirror in the neighborhood of the front facet or the rear facet of the semiconductor laser element. Therefore, a semiconductor laser device which can oscillate at two or more wavelengths with a simple construction is obtained.
