摘要: A surface emission laser formed of a group III nitride semiconductor includes a first conductivity type first clad layer; a first conductivity type first guide layer on the first clad layer; a light-emitting layer on the first guide layer; a second guide layer on the light-emitting layer; and a second conductivity type second clad layer on the second guide layer. The first or second guide layer internally includes voids periodically arranged at square lattice positions with two axes perpendicular to one another as arrangement directions in a surface parallel to the guide layer. The voids have a polygonal prism structure or an oval columnar structure with a long axis and a short axis perpendicular to the long axis in the parallel surface, and the long axis is inclined with respect to one axis among the arrangement directions of the voids.

摘要: A control circuit in this laser equipment drives a drive circuit of a photonic crystal laser element under a predetermined condition. It was found that a wavelength width of a laser beam to be output from the photonic crystal laser element is dependent on a standardized drive current k and a pulse width T, and had a predetermined relationship with these. By meeting this condition, a laser beam with a plurality of wavelengths can be controlled and output.
