Abstract
A vertical cavity surface emitting laser that includes: a substrate; a first semiconductor multilayer reflector; an active region; a second semiconductor multilayer reflector; a columnar structure formed from the second semiconductor multilayer reflector to the first semiconductor multilayer reflector; a current narrowing layer formed inside of the columnar structure and having a conductive region surrounded by an oxidization region; a first electrode formed at a top of the columnar structure, electrically connected to the second semiconductor multilayer reflector and defining a beam window; a first insulating film comprised of a material with a first refractive index and formed on the first electrode to cover the beam window; and a second insulating film comprised of a material with a second refractive index and formed on the first insulating film, of which a radius is smaller than a radius of the conductive region.
