Abstract: The grating layer of a surface emitting laser is divided into a first grating region and a second grating region along a horizontal direction. The second grating region is located at a middle area of the grating layer, while the first grating region is located in an outer peripheral area of the grating layer.

Wherein, Λ is the length of grating period, λ is the wavelength of the laser light, neff is the equivalent refractive index of semiconductor waveguide, m=1, and o=2. The first grating region is a first-order grating region, and the second grating region is a second-order grating region, so as to form a hybrid grating structure in the grating layer. The surface emitting laser emits laser light perpendicularly from a light-emitting surface defined by the second grating region.-

Abstract: An edge-emitting laser having a small vertical emitting angle includes an upper cladding layer, a lower cladding layer and an active region layer sandwiched between the upper and lower cladding layers. By embedding a passive waveguide layer within the lower cladding layer, an extended lower cladding layer is formed between the passive waveguide layer and the active region layer. In addition, the refractive index (referred as n-value) of the passive waveguide layer is larger than the n-value of the extended lower cladding layer. The passive waveguide layer with a larger n-value would guide the light field to extend downward. The extended lower cladding layer can separate the passive waveguide layer and the active region layer and thus expand the near-field distribution of laser light field in the resonant cavity, so as to obtain a smaller vertical emitting angle in the far-field laser light field.
