Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new design for a VCSEL, which allows for better control of the output of different optical modes. By creating high and low reflectance areas on the semiconductor layer, the invention reduces the gain of certain modes while maintaining the output of the fundamental mode. This results in a more efficient and stable laser with improved performance.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, there is a disadvantage that it is not easy to obtain high output of the fundamental transverse mode.

[0077]In the foregoing embodiment, the laminated structure 23D is circular. However, for example, as illustrated in FIGS. 11A to 11C, the laminated structure 23D may be in the shape of a convex protruding toward a region sandwiched between the specific regions 23E. Otherwise, for example, as illustrated in FIGS. 12A to 12C, the laminated structure 23D may be in the shape having double convexes protruding toward two regions sandwiched between the specific regions 23E. Further, for example, as illustrated in FIGS. 13A to 13C, the laminated structure 23D may be in the shape of a cross in the region other than the region corresponding to each peak P of the opposed region opposing to the current injection region 15B.

[0078]For example, if the laminated structure 23D is circular, and the laminated structure 23D is arranged so that the center point C2 of the laminated structure 23D corresponds to the opposed region C1, as illustrated in FIG. 14, output of a simple transverse mode is able to...

Abstract

A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) capable of providing high output of fundamental transverse mode while preventing oscillation of high-order transverse mode is provided. The VCSEL includes a semiconductor layer including an active layer and a current confinement layer, and a transverse mode adjustment section formed on the semiconductor layer. The current confinement layer has a current injection region and a current confinement region. The transverse mode adjustment section has a high reflectance area and a low reflectance area. The high reflectance area is formed in a region including a first opposed region opposing to a center point of the current injection region. A center point of the high reflectance area is arranged in a region different from the first opposed region. The low reflectance area is formed in a region where the high reflectance area is not formed, in an opposed region opposing to the current injection region.
