ら基板面に平行な光出力が得られるものである。Among semiconductor light emitting devices, laser diodes are attracting attention due to their characteristics such as high density output and coherent light. In addition, optical information processing has come to be considered due to the high speed of light, and integration of laser diodes or integration by combining with other functional elements is eagerly awaited. Conventional laser diodes are made by forming eight layers of an IV group compound on an IV group compound substrate, forming an active region parallel to the substrate surface using photoetching technology or diffusion technology, and then forming an active region parallel to the substrate surface from the cleavage plane of the substrate. Light output parallel to the surface can be obtained.

も集積化可能な半導体発光装置を提供することにある。In conventional laser diodes, light is output from the side surface of the substrate, making it difficult to connect the light guide, making it difficult to integrate the laser diode or combine the laser diode with other functional elements. For these reasons, a surface-emitting laser diode that emits light in a direction perpendicular to the scale plate has been devised. However, surface emitting laser diodes have the problem of unstable output. Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve these problems.
The purpose is to provide a semiconductor light emitting device that can provide stable light output and can be integrated.

フォトセンサーを配置したことを特徴とする。The semiconductor light-emitting device of the present invention detects a part of the light output from the surface-emitting laser with a photosensor, and returns this detection signal to the surface-emitting laser to control the light output of the surface-emitting laser. The light output to the photosensor is kept as low as possible.In order to reflect most of the output, a multilayer film structure, a semi-transparent film made of a metal thin film, or a metal thin film with pinholes is placed on the laser output surface towards the photosensor. ζ et al. are characterized in that a surface emitting laser and a photosensor are arranged vertically with respect to the substrate.
