摘要: A two-dimensional photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser 10 includes an active layer 11, a two-dimensional photonic crystal (photonic crystal layer) 12, and electrodes (first electrode 191 and second electrode 192). The two-dimensional photonic crystal 12 contains a plate-shaped base material 121 arranged on one side of the active layer 11 and different refractive index portions 122 arranged at lattice points of a predetermined lattice in the base material 121 and having a refractive index different from that of the base material 121, a band edge frequency for each position in an electric current supply region 120, which is at least a part of the two-dimensional photonic crystal, is monotonically increased in one direction parallel to the base material 121. Such a two-dimensional photonic crystal 12 can be realized, for example, by a configuration that when the different refractive index portion 122 has a refractive index smaller than that of the base material 121, a filling factor, which is a ratio of a volume occupied by the different refractive index portion 122 in a unit lattice 123 constituting the lattice, is monotonically increased in the one direction.

摘要: A photonic crystal surface-emitting laser includes a light emitting region from which light is emitted in a direction crossing an in-plane direction, and a current blocking region that is adjacent to the light emitting region in the in-plane direction and in which current is less likely to flow than in the light emitting region. The light emitting region and the current blocking region each include a photonic crystal layer. The photonic crystal layer has a first region and second regions periodically arranged in the in-plane direction in the first region. A refractive index of each of the second regions is different from a refractive index of the first region. The light emitting region includes a first semiconductor layer having a first conductivity type, an active layer having an optical gain, and a second semiconductor layer having a second conductivity type. The first semiconductor layer, the active layer, and the second semiconductor layer are sequentially stacked on top of one another in an emission direction of the light.
