The invention relates to a single-mode high-power vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), which belongs to the field of semiconductor photoelectronics. The laser is characterized by comprisinga P-type electrode (1), a P-type Si substrate (2), a metal bonding layer (3), a P-type distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) (4), an oxide limiting layer (5), an active area (6), an N-type DBR (7), a SiO2 mask (8), polymide or benzocyclobutene (BCB) (9), an N electrode (10), a photonic crystal (11) and a light-exiting window (12). The introduction of the photonic crystal into the vertical cavity surface emitting laser with the structure can enlarge an oxidation aperture and improve the single-mode output power; and at the same time, the transfer of the conventional VCSEL epitaxial wafer to the Sisubstrate by adopting bonding technology and the adoption of a design of exiting light at the bottom are convenient for narrowing the distance between a VCSEL epitaxial wafer active area and the Si substrate, improving the thermal characteristics of devices and further improving the single-mode output power.
