<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photonic crystal surface-emitting laser array configured to be less susceptible to generate reflection return light, while reducing incidence of leakage light. <P>SOLUTION: The distribution feedback surface-emitting laser has a plurality of first photonic crystal regions causing laser oscillation, a second photonic crystal region causing light diffraction in the out-of-plane direction, and an optical absorber provided above the second photonic crystal region and absorbing light of wavelength λ. Radiation coefficient of the first photonic crystal region is smaller than that of the second photonic crystal region. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
