First, a semiconductor laser element is set in a sputtering device, evacuated, and then Ar gas is introduced. Using a sintered body of BeO as a target, a dielectric film BeO is deposited on one end surface of a laser element to a thickness of, for example, λ/2 by high-frequency glow discharge. Here λ
