Abstract
A photonic crystal laser comprises an n-type substrate, an n-type clad layer, an active layer, a p-type clad layer, a photonic crystal layer, a p-type electrode, an n-type electrode and a package member. The n-type clad layer is formed on a first surface of the n-type substrate. The active layer is formed on the n-type clad layer. The p-type clad layer is formed on the active layer. The photonic crystal layer is formed between the n-type clad layer and the active layer or between the active layer and the p-type clad layer, and includes a photonic crystal portion. The p-type electrode is formed on the photonic crystal portion. The n-type electrode is formed on a second surface, and includes a light-transmitting portion arranged on a position opposed to the photonic crystal portion and an outer peripheral portion having lower light transmittance than the light-transmitting portion.
