Claim:
1. A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a mounting substrate; and a plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements mounted on the mounting substrate side by side, each of the semiconductor light emitting elements having a semiconductor structure layer that includes a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, an active layer, and a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type, which are layered in that order, wherein the semiconductor structure layer has a surface that is a surface of the second semiconductor layer and has end surfaces along respective sides thereof opposite to each other, and wherein each of the semiconductor light emitting elements has a resonator constituted by the end surfaces of the semiconductor structure layer opposite to each other, and a recessed portion that is recessed from said surface of the second semiconductor layer toward the active layer and that is positioned between the end surfaces of the resonator.
