Abstract
A light emitting apparatus includes a surface emitting laser and a ceramic package. The surface emitting laser has a common electrode on the back surface thereof and is mounted on the ceramic package via the common electrode. The common electrode of the surface emitting laser is electrically connected to a mount portion of the ceramic package. The mount portion is electrically connected to a back-surface electrode on the back surface of the ceramic package. The mount portion is also thermally connected to a back-surface heat-dissipating electrode on the back surface of the ceramic package via a penetrating electrode that penetrates the ceramic package. The surface emitting laser is spaced apart from the penetrating electrode in order to prevent inclination in light-emitted direction. The back-surface heat-dissipating electrode prevents destruction of a soldered portion when the light emitting apparatus is mounted on a substrate by soldering.
