The application discloses a high-refractive-index extended-cavity vertical-cavity surface-emitting
laser, a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of semiconductors. The application solves the problems of a large
line width of an existing vertical-cavity surface-emitting
laser and difficulty in controlling a narrow
line width in the prior art. The
laser comprises, from top to bottom, a top
electrode, a p-type Bragg mirror group, an oxidation layer, an active region, an n-type extension layer, an n-type Bragg mirror group, a substrate and a bottom
electrode, wherein the n-type extension layer is Al y Ga 1‑ y As, and y is 0.1-0.9. By arranging the n-type extension layer and setting the n-type extension layer to a specific material, resistance and
free carrier absorption in the extension layer are inhibited, the effective cavity length of the laser is effectively increased, the
resonant cavity length is increased, the output power is increased, the
line width enhancement factor alpha is reduced, and the
spectral line width is narrowed.
