Abstract
A lower multi-layer mirror is disposed on a substrate made of a first semiconductor having a first lattice constant. The lower multi-layer mirror has a lamination structure that a first layer made of an oxide of a second semiconductor and a second layer made of a third semiconductor are alternately stacked. A strain-relaxation layer is disposed on the lower multi-layer mirror, the strain-relaxation layer being made of a fourth semiconductor having a second lattice constant different from the first lattice constant. An active layer is disposed on the strain-relaxation layer. The active layer including a luminescence region is made of a fifth semiconductor having a third lattice constant different from the first and second lattice constants. An upper multi-layer mirror is disposed on the active layer. A surface-emitting semiconductor laser is provided which has a high efficiency and a low heat resistance.
