Provided is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser that includes a plurality of laminated semiconductor layers including an active layer and that oscillates at a wavelength λ1, wherein a resonator is formed by upper and lower multilayer reflecting mirrors has a structure that generates a longitudinal multimode, and the first active layer is arranged at a position shifted from a standing wave loop of the first longitudinal mode. According to the vertical cavity surface emitting laser capable of suppressing oscillation of the second longitudinal mode with a large gain and capable of single longitudinal mode oscillation based on the first longitudinal mode, the longitudinal mode spacing is narrowed by increasing the length of the resonator for single transverse mode oscillation at a high output, and the single longitudinal mode oscillation is possible even if longitudinal multimode oscillation occurs. |
