    Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a semiconductor light emitting element having a structure that enables removal of zero-order light from output light of an S-iPM laser. The semiconductor light emitting element includes an active layer, a pair of cladding layers, and a phase modulation layer. The phase modulation layer has a base layer and a plurality of modified refractive index regions each of which is individually arranged at a specific position. One of the pair of cladding layers includes a distributed Bragg reflector layer which has a transmission characteristic with respect to a specific optical image outputted along an inclined direction with respect to a light emission surface and has a reflection characteristic with respect to the zero-order light outputted along a normal direction of the light emission surface.

    Abstract: An optical property evaluation apparatus evaluates an optical property of an evaluation object, and includes a light source, a polarization beam splitter, a polarization adjuster, a first detector, a second detector, and an analyzer. The analyzer obtains a reflectance when linearly polarized light in a specific direction is incident on the evaluation object based on the detection result by the first detector when the light with which the evaluation object is irradiated is set to be the linearly polarized light in the specific direction. The analyzer obtains a phase property at the reflection of the evaluation object based on the detection result by the first detector or the second detector when the light with which the evaluation object is irradiated is set to have a polarization state different from the linearly polarized light in the specific direction, and a Jones matrix.
