Surface emitting laser

Abstract

Provided is a surface emitting laser capable of suppressing complication of a structure and capable of controlling a polarization direction. The surface emitting laser according to the present technology includes a resonator including a first structure and a second structure stacked on each other and an active layer disposed between the first and second structures, and the first structure and/or the second structure is provided with a stress application structure that applies a stress that distorts the active layer in an in-plane direction to the active layer. According to the surface emitting laser of the present technology, it is possible to provide the surface emitting laser capable of suppressing complication of a structure and capable of controlling a polarization direction.
