A surface emitting laser element includes an active layer and a dielectric multilayer mirror formed with a plurality of dielectric layers having different refractive indices for reflecting a light generated in the active layer. At least one of boundaries between the dielectric layers is formed to have a predetermined surface roughness to obtain a desired target reflectance of the dielectric multilayer mirror.

The convex portion includes a plane equal to or larger than a spot size of the laser light, where the spot size is decided by a diameter of the current-confinement aperture, a predetermined diffraction angle of the laser light due to the current-confinement aperture, and a distance from the current-confinement aperture.

A surface emitting laser includes a cavity region formed on a group-III-V compound substrate, which includes an active layer and a current confinement layer that has an aluminum oxide compound and confines a current path through which a current is injected into the active layer, an upper DBR mirror and a lower DBR mirror formed on the substrate, sandwiching the cavity region, and a graded-composition layer disposed to contact the current confinement layer, which has an aluminum composition ratio decreasing monotonically as a distance from the current confinement layer increases. The graded-composition layer includes a first region that contacts the current confinement layer and an oxidation stop layer that contacts the first region and that has a change rate of the aluminum composition ratio larger than that of the first region. The graded-composition layer is oxidized from an interface with the current confinement layer to at least a portion of the oxidation stop layer.
