A vertical cavity surface emitting laser including a substrate, a first semiconductor multilayer film reflector formed on the substrate, an active region formed on the first semiconductor multilayer film reflector, a second semiconductor multilayer film reflector formed on the active region, an electrode formed on the second semiconductor multilayer film reflector, a light absorption layer, and a light transmission layer. In the electrode, a light emitting aperture is formed. The light absorption layer is formed in a peripheral region of the light emitting aperture, and absorbs emitted light. The light transmission layer is composed of a material which the emitted light can pass through, and formed in a central region of the light emitting aperture. Thicknesses of the light absorption layer and the light transmission layer are selected so that phases of light from the light absorption layer and from the light transmission layer are adjusted.

A vertical cavity surface emitting laser includes a first semiconductor multilayer reflector, a resonator, and a second semiconductor multilayer reflector. The first semiconductor multilayer reflector is formed on a substrate and is configured by stacking a high refractive index layer having a relatively high refractive index and a low refractive index layer having a relatively low refractive index. The resonator includes an active layer formed on the first semiconductor multilayer reflector. The second semiconductor multilayer reflector is configured by stacking the high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer. The resonator includes a pair of spacer layers disposed vertically on the active layer and a resonator extension area formed at one side of the pair of spacer layers. The resonator extension area contains a material in which an energy level with a crystal defect is higher than a general energy level without the crystal defect.
