Abstract
A vertical cavity surface-emitting laser including: a substrate having a main surface; and a post structure mounted on the main surface. The post structure includes an active layer and a carrier confinement structure. The carrier confinement structure includes a first region and a second region having a higher resistivity than the first region. The first region has an edge, and a first to a third reference line segments. A first length of the first reference line segment is longest among lengths of line segments joining any two points on the edge and extending in a direction of the III-V group semiconductor. The first length is greater than a sum of a second length of the second reference line segment and a third length of the third reference line segment. The third length is smaller than the second length and is zero or more.
