行い難く、室温における連続発振を行なえなかった。In the surface emitting laser having the structure shown in FIG. 3, a heat dissipation mechanism is provided on the substrate side so that laser light L can be outputted from the wafer surface to the outside. The distance between the active region (active layer 6), which is the main heat generating part, and the heat sink 15 is 60 to 10
It is about 0 μm. Therefore, in a surface emitting laser that has a large threshold current and generates a large amount of heat, it is difficult to perform a sufficient heat dissipation operation, and continuous oscillation at room temperature cannot be performed.

困難であった。On the other hand, in the surface emitting laser having the structure shown in FIG. 4, the distance between the active region (active layer 6) and the heat sink 15 is
It can be shortened to about 5 μm or less. Therefore, even with a surface emitting laser that generates a large amount of heat, a sufficient heat dissipation effect can be obtained, and continuous oscillation at room temperature is possible. However, since laser light cannot be obtained from the wafer surface, element separation is difficult, and two-dimensional integration or integration with other elements is difficult.
