A VCSEL is provided that integrates an absorbing layer sandwiched within a null of the standing wave in the emitting mirror to reduce the reflectivity and transmissivity of the emitting mirror as seen by the feedback optical wave, with minimal effect on the reflectivity of the emitting mirror as seen by the light exiting the cavity. The absorbing layer may be made of a suitable absorbing material, such as a GaAs layer in a laser emitting near 850 nm or highly doped p-layer, for instance, and may be disposed epitaxially in a semiconductor or metamorphic mirror. The absorbing layer sandwich may be incorporated into the VCSEL after the last mirror pair or at any desired position with the emitting mirror array.
