    Abstract: Provided is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode (VCSEL) with a small divergence angle. The VCSEL includes a multi-layer structure on a substrate. The multi-layer structure includes an active region and current confinement layers. Each of the current confinement layers has an optical aperture (OA). When the area of the OA of the current confinement layer outside the active region is larger than the areas of the OAs of the current confinement layers inside the active region, such that the VCSEL has a small divergence angle in the short pulse mode.
