Abstract

See full text

A surface emitting semiconductor laser is provided with at least reflection mirrors on the substrate side composed of a first layer that is made of a Group III-V compound semiconductor and a second layer that is made of a Group III-V compound semiconductor with an energy bandgap that is larger than that of the first layer. The first and second layers are alternately stacked. The semiconductor laser is also composed of a distributive reflection multiple layer mirror that has an interface region between first and second layers having a carrier concentration that is higher than that of other regions. As a result, the multiple layer band structure of the distributive reflection mirror has been improved, current easily flows vertically through the multiple layers and the element resistance is low. In addition, a simple and reliable method is employed to fabricate the distributive reflection mirror because the doping concentration is controlled through dopant gas flow control or is controlled through light exposure.
