Abstract: In a laser device, a different refractive index region 6B of a photonic crystal layer is arranged at a lattice point position of a square lattice. In the case where a plane shape of the different refractive index regions 6B is a nearly isosceles right triangle, two sides forming a right angle extend along longitudinal and horizontal lateral lines of the square lattice. A direction parallel to or vertical to an oblique side of the triangle and a direction of polarization in the periodic polarization inversion structure of a nonlinear optical crystal NL are the same.

Abstract: The light-emitting element of an embodiment outputs a clear optical image while suppressing light output efficiency reduction, and includes a substrate, a light-emitting unit, and a bonding layer. The light-emitting unit has a semiconductor stack, including a phase modulation layer, between first and second electrodes. The phase modulation layer has a base layer and modified refractive index regions, and includes a first region having a size including the second electrode, and a second region. Each gravity center of the second region's modified refractive index region is arranged by an array condition. The light from the stack is a single beam, and regarding a first distance from the substrate to the stack's front surface and a second distance from the substrate to the stack's back surface, a variation amount of the first distance along a direction on the substrate is smaller than a variation amount of the second distance.

Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a light-emitting device comprising a reflective metasurface modulating a phase for each of pixels constituting a one- or two-dimensional array. The light-emitting device comprises a surface emitting laser element, a light guide layer, and the metasurface. The metasurface has a light transmissive layer including a dielectric layer, one metal film on one surface thereof, and the other metal film on the other surface thereof. In each of unit regions corresponding to the pixels, the light transmissive layer includes a portion exposed without being covered with the metal film. The width of each unit region and the thickness of the light transmissive layer are smaller than the wavelength of the laser light to the metasurface. The metasurface modulates the phase of the laser light for each unit region. A first light output surface outputs the modulated laser.

Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a light emission device capable of removing zero-order light from output light of an S-iPM laser. The light emission device comprises an active layer and a phase modulation layer. The phase modulation layer includes a base layer and a plurality of modified refractive index regions. In a state in which a virtual square lattice is set on the phase modulation layer, a center of gravity of each modified refractive index region is separated from a corresponding lattice point, and a rotation angle around each lattice point that decides a position of the center of gravity of each modified refractive index region is set according to a phase distribution for forming an optical image. A lattice spacing and an emission wavelength satisfy a condition of M-point oscillation in a reciprocal lattice space of the phase modulation layer. A magnitude of at least one of in-plane wavenumber vectors in four directions formed in the reciprocal lattice space and each including a wavenumber spread corresponding to an angle spread of the output light is smaller than 2π/λ.

Abstract: The embodiment relates to a light-emitting device in which a positional relationship between a modified refractive index region's gravity-center position and the associated lattice point differs from a conventional device, and a production method. In this device, a stacked body including a light-emitting portion and a phase modulation layer optically coupled to the light-emitting portion is on a substrate. The phase modulation layer includes a base layer and plural modified refractive index regions in the base layer. Each modified refractive index region's gravity-center position locates on a virtual straight line passing through a corresponding reference lattice point among lattice points of a virtual square lattice on the base layer's design plane. A distance between the reference lattice point and the modified refractive index region's gravity center along the virtual straight line is individually set such that this device outputs light forming an optical image.
