The present invention provides a surface emitting laser the wavelength-tunable band of which is wide. The wavelength-tunable surface emitting laser includes a first reflector (101), an active layer (103) disposed on the first reflector (101), a beam portion (110) disposed over the active layer (103) with an air gap therebetween, and a second reflector (120) disposed on the beam portion (110). The second reflector (120) has a distributed Bragg reflector consisting of a stack of dielectric layers. The beam portion (110) has a distributed Bragg reflector consisting of a stack of conductive semiconductor layers.
