Abstract
An improved surface-emitting laser device by which the light emitting wave length can be easily varied since the electric potential grown using the thin film material having a desired lattice rate uses a very small portion of activation layers, and by which the continuous oscillation is made at room temperature by using the reflector having high reflective index. Thus, optical characteristics are increased, which includes a GaAs substrate; a lower reflector is formed of multiple layers of AlAs/GaAs heterogenous thin films having a reflective index of 1 on the GaAs substrate; a tooth-shaped grading layer is formed of a lower reflector on the lower reflector and an In.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x As thin film having a large lattice rate in a compositional grading method; a tooth-shaped InGaAs grading well is formed on the In.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x As grading layer as an In composition of which reduced rather than the grading layer; a buffer layer is formed on the In.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x As thin film and formed of a lattice-bonded InP; and an upper semiconductor reflector is formed on a multilayer of an InAlAs/InAlGaAs heterogenous thin film on the buffer layer, which has a reflective index of 1, in which a laser beam is emitted from the surface of the same.
