Abstract

The invention provides a high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with metal meshes. The high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser is provided with an upper electrode structure and anemission hole is formed in the high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, wherein the upper electrode structure comprises a peripheral electrode and a plurality of grid line electrodes; the peripheral electrode is arranged on the periphery of the emission hole; and the plurality of grid line electrodes are connected with the peripheral electrode and extend into the emission hole. Throughthe plurality of grid line electrodes, the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with a large oxidation aperture is divided into a plurality of narrow-long block areas in a manner of increasing a current path, so that, on one hand, the current density of a central area of the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with the large oxidation aperture can be effectively increased, and on the other hand, the current can be transversely propagated from the plurality of grid line electrodes, thereby greatly improving the uniformity of current density distribution in a light-emitting hole and improving the conversion efficiency. Meanwhile, the coherence of emergent light is kept on a large scale. The high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser can be applied to the fields, such as laser radars, infrared cameras and depth identification detectors.
