摘要： A two-dimensional photonic crystal surface emitting laser light source according to the present invention includes a two-dimensional photonic crystal made of a plate-shaped body material provided with a periodic arrangement of identically-shaped holes 242A and an active layer provided on one side of the two-dimensional photonic crystal. The hole 242A is not located on a first half-line 251 extending from the gravity center G1 of the hole in a direction within the plane of the two-dimensional photonic crystal, while the hole 242A is located at least on a portion of a second half-line 252 extending from the gravity center G1 in the direction opposite to the first half-line 251. Injecting electric charges into the active layer generates light, which creates an electric field that encircles the gravity center G1 within the two-dimensional photonic crystal. For a given point on the second half-line 252 at which the hole 242A is located, there is no hole at a point that is symmetrical to the aforementioned point with respect to the gravity center G1, so that there is a difference in the refractive index between the two points. Thus, the electric field vectors at the two points are prevented from canceling each other due to destructive interference, so that the resultant laser light is stronger than conventional examples.

摘要： An objective of the present invention is to provide a surface emitting laser capable of selectively generating a laser oscillation in the fundamental mode and thereby emitting a single-wavelength laser light. In a surface emitting laser including an active layer and a two-dimensional photonic crystal provided on one side of the active layer, a reflector 45 or 46 is provided at least at a portion of the circumference of the two-dimensional photonic crystal. The reflector has a reflectance distribution in which the reflectance has a maximum value at a position where the amplitude envelope of the fundamental mode of an internal resonance light created within the two-dimensional photonic crystal. This design strengthens the fundamental mode while suppressing the second mode, thus enabling the laser oscillation in the fundamental mode to be selectively obtained, so that a single-wavelength laser light can be emitted.

摘要： A surface-emitting laser according to the present invention includes a laminated body between a first electrode 471 and a second electrode 472. The laminated body includes an active layer 43 and a two-dimensional photonic crystal 45. The first electrode 471 is ring shaped. A voltage is applied between the first and second electrodes 471 and 472 to supply an electric current into the active layer 43 and thereby cause an emission of light. Since the first electrode 471 is ring shaped, the light thereby generated has a ring-shaped field distribution within the two-dimensional photonic crystal 45. Due to this field distribution, a radially polarized laser beam having a ring-shaped cross section is emitted from the two-dimensional photonic crystal 45. The laser beam thus generated can be focused by a focusing lens to make its diameter smaller than the diffraction limit. Such a laser beam is suitable for optical pickups and other optical devices.
