Provided is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode (VCSEL). A tunnel junction with a high doping concentration is provided in the VCSEL. An n-type semiconductor layer of the tunnel junction has stress relative to the substrate, and is doped with at least one element such that the tunnel junction not only has a high doping concentration, but also the epitaxial layer can be oxidized and the oxidation rate is relatively stable during the oxidation process. Alternatively, the n-type semiconductor layer is doped with at least two elements. As a result, the oxidation process of the VCSEL can be stably performed, and the resistance of the tunnel junction with a high doping concentration is low. The tunnel junction is suitable to be arranged between two active layers of the VCSEL or between the p-type semiconductor and the n-type semiconductor layer of the VCSEL.
