Abstract
A method for producing a multi-wavelength semiconductor laser device includes steps of: forming first and second nitride epitaxial layers in parallel on a substrate for growth of a nitride single crystal; separating the first and second nitride epitaxial layers from the substrate; attaching the separated first and second nitride epitaxial layers to a first conductivity-type substrate; selectively removing the first and second nitride semiconductor epitaxial layers to expose a portion of the first conductivity-type substrate and to form first and second semiconductor laser structures, respectively; and forming a third semiconductor laser structure on the exposed portion of the first conductivity-type substrate.
