Surface emitting laser, surface emitting laser array, and light source device

Abstract

Provided is a surface emitting laser capable of increasing the size of a light emitting portion while curbing an increase in size as a whole. A surface emitting laser according to the present technology includes: a first structure that includes a first multilayer reflector; a second structure that includes a second multilayer reflector; an active layer that is disposed between the first and second structures; a first electrode that is electrically connected to the first structure; and a second electrode that is electrically connected to the second structure, and the first and second electrodes are provided in the second structure in a state where the first and second electrodes are insulated from each other. According to the surface emitting laser of the present technology, it is possible to provide a surface emitting laser capable of increasing the size of a light emitting portion while curbing an increase in size as a whole.
