Provided is a VCSEL device that includes a substrate on which at least a first semiconductor multilayer film of a first conductivity type, an active region, and a second semiconductor multilayer film of a second conductivity type are stacked. The second semiconductor multilayer film forms a resonator together with the first semiconductor multilayer film. A conductive first protecting layer is formed in an area in the second semiconductor multilayer film. The area includes at least an emission outlet that emits laser light. An annular electrode is formed on the first protecting layer, and the emission outlet is formed in the annular electrode. An encapsulating material encapsulates at least the first protecting layer and the annular electrode.
