摘要: A method for manufacturing a GaN-based surface-emitting laser by an MOVPE includes: growing a first cladding layer with a {0001} growth plane; growing a guide layer on the first cladding layer; forming holes which are two-dimensionally periodically arranged within the guide layer; etching the guide layer by ICP-RIE using a chlorine-based gas and an argon; supplying a gas containing a nitrogen to cause mass-transport, and then supplying the group-III gas for growth, whereby a first embedding layer closing openings of the holes is formed to form a photonic crystal layer; and growing an active layer and a second cladding layer on the first embedding layer, The step includes a step of referring to already-obtained data on a relationship of an attraction voltage and a ratio of gases in the ICP-RIE with a diameter distribution of air holes embedded, and applying the attraction voltage and the ratio to the ICP-RIE.

摘要: 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.

Wherein ∧ is the length of grating period, λ is the wavelength of the laser light, neff is the equivalent refractive index of semiconductor waveguide, m=1, and o=2. The first grating region is a first-order grating region, and the second grating region is a second-order grating region, so as to form a hybrid grating structure in the grating layer.
