Abstract

The invention relates to a surface emitting device for increasing a light limit coefficient so as to effectively increase a mode gain. A lower reflective layer (4) and an upper reflective layer (5) are respectively arranged at two end sides of a light resonator (3) in a thickness direction, and a primary active layer (6) is arranged at a central part of the light resonator (3) in the thickness direction; furthermore, aiming at the light resonator (3), a first secondary active layer (7) is arranged adjacent to the lower reflective layer (4), and a second secondary active layer (8) is arranged adjacent to the upper reflective layer (5); therefore, the first secondary active layer (7) and the secondary active layer (8) can be configured to a position of an antinode with large light amplitude without lengthening an optical length (Lo) between the lower reflective layer (4) and the upper reflective layer (5).

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to surface emitting elements such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and the like. Background technique

[0002] In general, the surface light-emitting element has a lower reflective layer of the first conductivity type, a plurality of barrier layers, and a single quantum well or multiple quantum wells formed between the barrier layers on the upper surface of the first conductivity type substrate. A stacked structure of a plurality of active layers and a second conductivity type upper reflective layer. Among them, a current narrowing layer for efficiently injecting current into the active layer is provided on either the lower reflective layer or the upper reflective layer. By forming such a configuration, an optical resonator is formed by the lower reflective layer, the plurality of barrier layers, the active layer, and the upper reflective layer. Among them, the pair of low...
