    Abstract: A light emission device of one embodiment reduces zero-order light included in output of an S-iPM laser. The light emission device includes a light emission unit and a phase modulation layer. The phase modulation layer has a base layer and modified refractive index regions each including modified refractive index elements. In each unit constituent region centered on a lattice point of an imaginary square lattice set on the phase modulation layer, the distance from the corresponding lattice point to each of the centers of gravity of the modified refractive index elements is greater than 0.30 times and is not greater than 0.50 times of the lattice spacing. In addition, the distance from the corresponding lattice point to the center of gravity of the modified refractive index elements as a whole is greater than 0 and is not greater than 0.30 times of the lattice spacing.

    Abstract: In a semiconductor light emitting element provided with an active layer 4, a pair of cladding layers 2, 7 between which the active layer 4 is interposed, and a phase modulation layer 6 optically coupled to the active layer 4, the phase modulation layer 6 includes a base layer 6A and a plurality of different refractive index regions 6B having different refractive indices from the base layer 6A. When an XYZ orthogonal coordinate system having a thickness direction of the phase modulation layer 6 as a Z-axis direction is set and a square lattice of a virtual lattice constant a is set in an XY plane, each of the different refractive index regions 6B is disposed so that a centroid position G thereof is shifted from a lattice point position in a virtual square lattice by a distance r, and the distance r is 0

    Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a light-emitting device that enables reduction in attenuation or diffraction effect caused by a semiconductor light-emitting device with respect to modulated light outputted from a spatial light modulator, and the light-emitting device includes the semiconductor light-emitting device that outputs light from a light output surface and the reflection type spatial light modulator that modulates the light. The spatial light modulator includes a light input/output surface having the area larger than the area of a light input surface of the semiconductor light-emitting device, modulates light taken through a region facing the light output surface of the semiconductor light-emitting device in the light input/output surface, and outputs the modulated light from another region of the light input/output surface to a space other than the light input surface of the semiconductor light-emitting device.

    Abstract: A light modulator of to this embodiment enables high-speed modulation to an SLM using a liquid crystal. The light modulator comprises refractive index regions arranged in a first direction on a reference plane, a region surrounding each refractive index regions and having a refractive index lower than that of each refractive index region, a first conductive film, and a second conductive film. The first conductive film is provided on any one of a pair of side surfaces arranged in the first direction in at least one refractive index region selected from the refractive index regions and belonging to a first group. The second conductive film is provided on any one of the pair of side surfaces so as not to overlap with the first conductive film in at least one refractive index region selected from the refractive index regions and belonging to a second group.
