Light-emitting element array and method of producing light-emitting element array

Abstract

[Object] An object of the present technology is to provide a light-emitting element array capable of preventing a light-emitting element from being damaged and a method of producing the light-emitting element array. [Solving Means] A light-emitting element array according to the present technology includes: a plurality of light-emitting elements two-dimensionally arranged on a light-emitting element surface of the light-emitting element array, each of the plurality of light-emitting elements being a vertical cavity surface emitting laser and being formed in a mesa shape surrounded by a recessed portion formed in the light-emitting element surface, an inclined surface being formed on an outer periphery of a light-emitting element group including the plurality of light-emitting elements, a depth of the recessed portion from the light-emitting element surface gradually increasing as away from the light-emitting element group.
